The present publication delves into the numerical aspects of Farm Power and Farm Machinery as a comprehensive whole, which will serve as a valuable resource for students pursuing B.E./B.Tech. (Agricultural Engineering), M.E./M.Tech. (Farm Machinery and Power Engineering). Moreover, it will also be beneficial to undergraduate students of agriculture and horticulture who are enrolled in polytechnic courses in agricultural engineering, agriculture, and horticulture subjects offered at various SAUs. The book contains numerous solved examples of all the significant sub-topics under the Farm Power & Machinery Engineering subject, organized into two primary sections: Farm Machinery and Farm Power. The Farm Machinery section is further divided into sub-sections like useful formulas and equations related to tillage implements, sowing and planting implements, plant protection implements, harvesting and threshing machineries, and other farm machineries. Similarly, the Farm Power section is also divided into sub-sections such as useful formulas and equations related to engine power, transmission system, engine components, tractors, and other sources of power.
