This study focuses on developing a safe workplace for agricultural tractor drivers and recommending the optimum location for tractor control. Thirteen anthropometric body dimensions of 8,025 Indian male agricultural workers were considered for developing reach envelopes for hand- and foot-operated controls. The optimum reach for hand controls is in the range of 456 to 700 mm forward and 265 to 492 mm above the seat reference point. Similarly, for foot-operated control, the foot could reach within the range 429 to 897 mm forward and 367 mm below, and 30 mm above the seat reference point.

农用拖拉机的安全工作场所：设计原理与应用

这项研究的重点是为农用拖拉机驾驶员开发安全的工作场所，并为拖拉机控制提供最佳位置的建议。为开发用于手和脚操作的控制范围的信封，考虑了13位人体测量人体尺寸的8,025名印度男性农业工人。手动控制的最佳作用范围是在向前456至700 mm，在座椅参考点上方265至492 mm的范围内。类似地，对于脚控制，脚可以向前到达429到897毫米，低于座椅参考点367毫米，并高于座椅参考点30毫米。
