SURVEI KINERJA TRAKTOR JOHN DEERE MODEL 5045 D DENGAN IMPLEMEN BAJAK PIRING DAN ROTARI DI LAHAN PERKEBUNAN WAWO KOTA TOMOHON

Abstract

Research aimed to survey the performance of John Deere 5045 D tractor using Disc Plow and Rotary Implement on agricultural land in Wawo Plantation, Tomohon City, i.e: to know the work capacity, field efficiency, fuel consumption, and soil tillage depth. This research is a quantitative study with a Survey Method, data collection was done by directly observing the land cultivation process. The experiment was conducted in two plots with sizes of 0.15 ha and 0.4 ha using a John Deere 5045D four-wheel tractor with disk plow and rotavator implements. Results showed the Theoretical Field Capacity averages of 0.3475 ha/hour for plot 1 and 0.5420 ha/hour for plot 2, the Effective Field Capacity averages of 0.2596 ha/hour for plot 1 and 0.4490 ha/hour for plot 2, Average Field Efficiency values of 74.69% for plot 1 and 81.42% for plot 2. Fuel Consumption in this study was divided into 2 plots and 2 treatments, namely disk plow and rotavator, fuel consumption in the disk plow was 4.8 liters for plot 1, and 8.25 liters for plot 2, rotavator implement was 7.95 liters for plot 1, and 13.7 liters for plot 2 rotavator implement, Soil moisture content averaged 30.62% for plot 1, and 34.29% for plot 2.
