The tractor industry, as a component of the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry, has specific industrial structural characteristics in the national economy, especially in the composition of the majority of China's agricultural population, due to its product uses, scope of application, composition of the industrial chain, and social attributes. As an important means of production for rural areas and users, the development of tractors in their industry and products is closely related to China's economic reform and industrial policies. The quality status of tractor products comprehensively reflects the physical production control ability of the production unit, and more prominently reflects the level of enterprise management, product structure adjustment, and national macroeconomic regulation. But the quality of tractor products in our country is still a concern,
At present, most small and medium-sized enterprises in China mainly produce belt driven small four-wheel tractor models based on the design models of the 1970s. With the characteristics of simple design, convenient maintenance, low price, complete operation functions, and complete component matching system, they will still be suitable tractors for rural areas in China for a period of time in the future.
The manufacturing and design of tractors are a combination of materials, processes, electronics, rubber, and advanced design technologies. Based on the current models produced by major tractor manufacturing enterprises in China, and comparing with the current international tractor production and manufacturing technology, analyzing the gap will be beneficial for the development of the tractor industry and the improvement of design and manufacturing level goals in the future. There is still a significant technological gap between China and foreign countries, which needs further investigation.
