The tractor is a prime-mover which can be used for carrying out farm operations such as ploughing; harrowing, seeding, inter-cultivation, harvesting, transportation, land levelling and operating stationary machines (, irrigation pumps, threshers, chaff cutters, cane crusher etc.) All the machines require periodical servicing, maintenance and repairs for efficient and economical performance to stay in good operating conditions throughout working life. Although, most of the tractor manufacturers have appointed their dealers to provide operational know how, after sales and services of their products, yet, these are inadequate.  Consequently, many machines are not properly maintained and are subjected to abnormal break downs, wear and tear and thereby reducing the effective life of the machines.  Due to improper maintenance and servicing of the tractors, it has been found that many tractors have been rendered unserviceable within a short period of 5000 hours or even less.

A trading strategy is based on predefined rules and criteria used when making trading decisions.
