Effort has been made to develop a software for tractor design. It provides flexibility to incorporate the coefficient related to component material, system type and working environment. Basic design equations have been used to obtain the dimensions of various systems of the tractor. Eleven different models of tractor in 18 to 50 hp range have been considered for validation of the computer software. The actual and designed values for the engine displacement, cylinder bore and stroke, fuel tank capacity, clutch plate diameter, rear wheel diameter and width have been compared. Other design dimensions could not be compared due to lack of needed information. The comparison indicates that the design dimensions are in close agreement with the actual existing dimensions.
