Abstract

This study investigated the factors determining continuous tractor use in Benin. A multi stage sampling procedure was used to select tractor users in the country. A total of 203 households using agricultural machinery were surveyed through interviews and using a structured questionnaire. The information concerned socioeconomic characteristics, the equipment used and agricultural production. The logit model was used for data analysis. About 75% of tractor owners use it for service delivery, while 71.4% of them possess their own land. Continuous use of tractor is significantly influenced by the number of hours for one hectare tilled, the total area tilled per year as well as the tractor age. Moreover, the tractor brands available in the country also influenced tractor use. The hierarchized failures were hydraulic lifting pump (16.4%), fuel filter (14.6%), clutch disc failure (9.9%), breakage of plough (8.8%) and injection pump (7.6%). The future of agricultural equipment use can now be anticipated and take action to deal with any tractor use difficulties for sustainable agricultural extension in Benin. Keywords: Farm machinery, adoption, failure, Benin Republic.

决定贝宁共和国拖拉机持续使用的因素
本研究调查了影响贝宁拖拉机连续使用的因素。采用多阶段抽样程序来选择该国的拖拉机用户。通过访谈和结构化问卷对203个使用农业机械的家庭进行了调查。有关社会经济特征、使用的设备和农业生产的信息。采用logit模型进行数据分析。约75%的拖拉机所有者将其用于提供服务,而其中71.4%的人拥有自己的土地。每公顷耕作的小时数、每年耕作的总面积以及拖拉机的使用年限对拖拉机的连续使用有显著影响。此外,国内拖拉机的品牌也影响了拖拉机的使用。故障等级依次为液压举升泵(16.4%)、燃油滤清器(14.6%)、离合器片故障(9.9%)、犁破(8.8%)和喷油泵(7.6%)。现在可以预测农业设备使用的未来,并采取行动解决贝宁可持续农业推广中拖拉机使用方面的任何困难。关键词:农业机械,采用,故障,贝宁共和国。
