III. MATERIALS
Internet resources, devices (i.e. cellphone, laptop, etc.), appropriate references (book, journal, e-
book, e-journal etc.) and drawing paraphernalia.
IV. PROCEDURE
a. Draw an agricultural two-wheel tractor and label its parts;
b. Enumerate and define the different parts (complete) of the agricultural two-wheel tractor;
c. Identify the different types of two-wheel tractors, and classify the uses of the two-wheel
tractors;
d. Discuss the step-by-step procedure of operating a two-wheel tractor;
e. Enumerate the safety precautions/operations of an agricultural two-wheel tractor
(provide pictures with labels) and discuss the importance of knowing the safety
operation of a agricultural two-wheel tractor;
f. Enumerate and describe the possible troubles, causes, and remedy/solution of a two-
wheel tractor;
Enumerate and discuss the proper care and maintenance of an agricultural two-wheel
tractor.
V. DISCUSSION
In addition, the mini tiller type has a drag-stake that is attached to the rear hook-up point
of the machine. In general, this type is used for gardening in the yard and is rarely used for
professional farming purposes.
Traction Type
The second type is the traction type. Traction type two-wheeled tractors are used for
pulling plowshares or as a transportation of other agricultural tools. Compared to the mini
triller, the traction type machine has a larger capacity, which is 4 to 6 PS. Traction type
two-wheeled tractors do not have a rotary soil cultivator so they are often referred to as
power cultivators.
Motion Type
The third type of two-wheeled tractors is the motion type. In contrast to the traction type
which does not have a rotary device, the motion type is equipped with a rotary soil
processing device. A motorized two-wheeled tractor will cultivate the soil and
mechanically transmit the tractor’s power to the farm equipment installed behind it.
Thai Type
Unlike the previous type, the Thai type is a two-wheeled tractor that has a simple structure
by relying on a diesel motor and water cooling. The installed control rod is longer and
heavier than the traction type tractor. The power generated by the Thai type is much
greater, which is 6 to 12 PS.
STOPPING
1. Close the throttle (F).
2. Engage clutch lever (C).
3. Locate gear lever (D) in neutral position.
4. Disengage drive to the digging knives by pulling the PTO lever (E) backwards.
5. Release clutch lever (C).
6. Release the OPC lever (A) completely.
7. Move the engine stop lever (B) to position O ‘STOP’.
Safety Operation:
Read the operator’s manuals before operating or servicing this equipment.
Disengage the PTO and shift into neutral before starting engine.
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting engine.
Handle gasoline with care.
Keep shields, guards and safety devices in place.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
Never allow children to operate the equipment.
Be alert for danger to bystanders, property and for terrain hazards.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
Stay alert for persons and hazards.
Before leaving operator’s position:
- Put PTO control in the out position.
- Remove ignition key.
- Engage FWD
-REV and Hi-Lo controls
VI. CONCLUSION
Due to their size, two wheel tractors are able to work in places that traditional four wheel
tractors are unable to. Additionally, two wheel tractors are significantly more maneuverable than
traditional four wheel tractors. Even though they can still be used for a wide range of tasks, two-
wheel tractors are still less expensive than larger models.
During the growing season, two-wheel tractors can perform work between rows without
harming crops or compacting the soil, which can increase farm productivity. Two-wheel tractors
outperform cheap, one-purpose light duty garden rotary tillers for small farmers and gardeners.
Even though they are more expensive than these machines. Two-wheel tractors can do a lot of
different things, and if maintained property will last a lifetime.
In the Cordilleras, two-wheel tractors are definitely the choice for agricultural use as it fits
the needs and requirements of the upland farmers. Proper safety operations and maintenance will
prolong the life of this machine.
