While much remains to be done on small farms in the poorest regions, sufficient progress has been made to accelerate food production in line with population growth (contrary to the Malthusian prediction). In this theme, farm machinery is considered with primary emphasis on engine and motor driven machines and implements and a lesser emphasis on human or animal powered equipment.
Sophisticated hydraulic systems are now available on all modern tractors capable of performing additional functions including the operation and control of a multiplicity of implements and machines mounted to the rear, front or side of the tractor including loaders, mowers, agrochemical applicators, harvesters and feeders. While many of these are mechanically driven through the power-take-off (PTO) shaft at the rear of the tractor, hydraulic-drive systems provide additional flexibility due to the flexible power hoses that interconnect the driving and driven units.
