Sistema computacional dedicado a avaliação de tratores agrícolas para propriedades de base familiar

Abstract

The family farming is facing a new reality that refers to obtaining resources through funding from the Federal Government and the possibility that, through these, to use intensive means of production, as is the case of agricultural tractor. It is known that family farmers are acquiring tractors with little or no technical criteria, mainly for lack of a system that takes into account relevant aspects of both the machine and your production system. Becomes, therefore, need a device to assist the family farmer to decide on the acquisition of a particular model of tractor. Such a device should be based on security-related aspects, technical, ergonomic and economic performance. The adjustment of an established model, developed from appropriate methodology, a tool has to be able to support both family farmers and professionals attached to approval of financing projects of agricultural machinery and tractors for the family farm. In this work the scale values of the criteria adopted by Andersson (2010) and built a computer system that facilitates the identification of scores generated in the evaluation of tractors were redefined. Through the proposed computer system here, it becomes possible to provide information to farmers, to help them, simply and quickly, in the selection and / or purchase of a tractor model that meets their real needs.
