ANALISIS ANTROPOMETRI TERHADAP RUANG KENDALI TRAKTOR RODA EMPAT BUATAN JEPANG ‘K’ DAN EROPA ‘N’
ABSTRACT: Four-wheeled tractor
is one of the most important agricultural machine tools that used in activity
of soil tillage. Most of the four wheeled tractor in Indonesia specially
designed not for local operators because the design mostly followed by average
size operators from the country that create the tractor, especially in the
workstation design. Ergonomics approaching of anthropometry analysis have
intended to determine safety and comfort level of operator duringoperation the
tractor. Anthropometry analysis includes observation natural range of movements
(ROM) from Jetis’s farmers in operation the control device toward workstationof
tractor made in Japan ‘K’ and Europe ‘N’.This analysis alsodetermine optimum
range of control devices was controlled by the hands or feet operator. The
result revealed that a positions of the control device in tractor made in Japan
‘K’ were situated inside the functional reach envelope operator of a 5th, 50th,
and 95th percentile male Jetis’s farmers. According to analysis result, the
tractor made in Japan ‘K’ is more compatible for Jetis’s farmers than tractor
made in Europe ‘N’.
