Abstract

Farm mechanization is the key to provide a number of economic and social advantages to farmers. The most important of the economic benefits is the enhanced yield that comes as a result of increased mechanisation. Combination of mechanical linkage or systems replacing by some electronic components it’s become mechanical + Electronics = Mechatronics. Linear actuator is best example of mechatronics in term of combination of electronic and mechanical. In linear actuator no need to any hydraulic link, distributor, oil tank, hydraulic pump. In some cases its give better then the hydraulic control actuating devices. If we use mechatronics technologies into agriculture sector there have helpful in controlling system and compactness in whole mechanism.
