The size and number of tractors is dictated by the size, nature and profitability of the farming enterprise as well as by how many (if any) operations (e.g. plowing, planting, spraying, harvesting) will be serviced by local contractors. For example, the capital cost of purchasing a harvester to harvest a small area of a moderate value crop is often prohibitive.
As a consequence, the design and operation of such equipment requires increased investment in research and development to enhance their operational and performance characteristics (see also, Human and Animal Powered Machinery).
