dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to determine the current mechanisation level in agricultural farms of the Bayramic-Ezine-Kumkale agricultural plains, in Canakkale (Dardanelles) region of west of Turkey. For this purpose, a questionnaire was carried out for 401 farms capable of growing both field and horticulture crops. Results indicated that each farm having small size characteristic has at least one tractor, but 19.20% of farms included more than one tractor. The status of having one (91.67%) or more (41.67%) tractors per farm was higher in Bayramic, due to growing both field and horticulture crops. However, the highest number of tractors was recorded in Kumkale farms (60.00%), followed by Ezine ( 31.65%) and Bayramic (8.35%). Most of them are young, but 12.00% are older than 24-year, especially Massey Ferguson-135, Universal and Fiat (54C, 480). The most used tractor brand has been New Holland ( 32.15%), followed by Massey Ferguson (18.99%), Fiat (9.11%), John Deere (8.10%), Case IH (7.85%), Same (5.05%), Deutz (4.05%), Steyr ( 3.54%), Valt ra (2.28%) and others ( Ford, Hattat, Erkunt, Basak, Tumosan, Universal, Kubota and Landini). On average three plains, 77.03% of farms were preferred to purchase the new tractors, 22.97% preferred the secondhand. Tractor was 0.99 per farm, but it was the highest in Ezine (1.17). Agricultural area per tractor was 11.7 hectare on average three plains, the highest for Kumkale (13.6 hectare) and the lowest for Ezine (8.3 hectare per tractor). Machinery per tractor was 7.67 for all farms, but Kumkale (8.78) had the highest, and then followed by Bayramic (6.58) and Ezine (5.87).
