Abstract

The reliability engineering concept and its application to farm machinery were reviewed. A method of estimating the reliability parameter to agricultural tractor (Belarus) were discussed. The method used field data for estimation of parameters value for the reliability function. The Weibull distribution model with a shape parameter of 1.13 and scale parameter of 163.53 and location parameter of zero adequately represented the reliability function of Belarus tractors being used in Panchagarh Sugar Mills, Panchagarh. Reliability of an agricultural machine, such as tractor, is of help to farmers in purchasing and to manufacturers in producing more reliable machines.
