| Summary: | Transport could be considered an essential factor in improving agricultural productivity. An improved
transportation helps to reduce spoilage and wastage, empower the farmers as well as having a positive impact on their
productivity, income and employment. In this study, the main component in the kit is a brick-shaped computer control
programming called the NXT brick. It can take input from one to four sensors and could be controlled by up to three
motors, via RJ12 cables, very similar to but incompatible with RJ11 phone cords. The experiment was then successfully
conducted. The tyre chosen should not be too narrow or too wide. The effect of a machine on the soil depends on the load
on the wheel and the ground pressure it exerted. It is important to note that a high load carrying capacity can be achieved by
using a larger tyre and/or a tyre that is inflated at high pressures. For machine weight factor, three weights of load had been
loaded into the NXT robot tractor and the result obtained was analysed. The result proved that appropriate tyre size
selection is important in reducing soil compaction. In overall, the NXT robot tractor acts as a two wheel drive tractor
since the there is insufficient servo motor port to connect with to make it acts as a four wheel drive tractor |
