Abstract
This research aims 1) to invent a small tractor with multi-purposes used in the livestock farm, 2) to test and evaluate the capacity of a small tractor with multi-purposes in the area of 8 meter-width by 3 meter-length, and 3) to analyze the benefits of the small tractor with multi-purposes usage by using breakeven analysis and payback period analysis. This research started with the study of livestock farms in the central region of Thailand; the central beef market in Kamphaeng Sean, Nakhon Pathom. It was found that they were in a high degree of labor-intensive status. Hence, looking for suitable technological tools for them is a must. The small tractor with multi-purposes is created and used in the livestock farm. The results of the test revealed that it is useful for livestock farmers. The small tractor works faster and more efficiently than two workers, so it helps save their costs. Therefore, the small tractor with multi-purposes can be a prototype for use in other farms and develop the production with lower costs.
