Abstract
In cotemporary series of Indian tractors tractor workplace design and thereby drivers safety has become an increasingly important issue. This paper describes the design principles of tractor-operator workplace through ergonomic point of view. The optimized locations of seat and cotrols have been determined on the basis of anthropometric data of Indian adult male farm workers. Five models of leading Indian tractors have been compared in respect of existing workplace dimensions. The existing tractor workplace dimensions widely vary with the design dimensions which are calculated through anthropometric data. The paper also reveals the need of anthropometric dimensions of target population from Indian to be consisted in the design of tractor operator workplace.
