Abstract
Abstract: The present study was conducted to determine the use pattern of tractors and to establish the relationship between life, maintenance cost, and use pattern of the tractors in selected regions of Odisha. Data was collected with the help of a prestructured questionnaire through personal interviews of farmers in three districts of Odisha. Districts Mayurbhanj, Sonepur, and Nuapada for the study. From each district, three blocks were selected, and from each block, two villages were randomly selected from each of these villages, ten farmers who owned the tractor and equipment with cultivable land were randomly selected. The results showed that most of the tractor owners in all the two districts had medium landholdings (4-10 ha) comprising nearly 46% of the total tractor ownerships. The use of tractors was used mostly for non-agricultural purposes like transportation of construction materials as compared to agricultural purposes.
