Abstract

GPS tracking system is a great tool for operating and managing farm machinery stations, which allows tracking all farm machinery as they operate in the field, giving the ability to contact machine driver in the field and see if anybody is going over the areas already worked. A Lamborghini (R 3) 95 hp tractor and a chisel plow were tested with GPS tracking system to measure the effect of using GPS tracking system on the performance of farm machinery. Using GPS tracking system with Google Maps provides important information about field shape, area, dimensions and position of the machine on the map which leads to increase the performance of the machine in the field. GPS tracking system prevents drifting, keep farm machinery on track, avoids the gaps and overlaps that affect the quality of the work. An advancement plan was designed to increase the performance of governmental farm machinery stations, which includes use GPS tracker, use renewable energy, organize training courses to drivers, create a database for all farm machinery in the station, make time plan to replace old machines, improve the management system for the farm machinery station and finally use computer program for technical service support.
