It has now been proposed that extensive surveys should be carried out in different regions of the country to generate the necessary data useful in farm machinery design. Through some examples, an effort is made here to illustrate the use of the data in the design of farm equipment. The collected anthropometric data were analysed to calculate mean, range, standard deviation and 5th, 50th and 95th percentile values. 3D design view was drawn using 3ds max 2014, detailed examination of link dimensions, cylinder-link configurations, stress. Therefore, 52 body dimensions necessary for the design of these equipments were identified and a sample study was conducted on 39 farm workers. Earlier anthropometric surveys carried out in the country were very few and inadequate for use in farm machinery design. Bulletin of the World Health Organization.

In Indian agriculture, hand tools, animal-drawn equipment and tractor/power operated machinery are extensively used for various operations.
