A large number of studies have been conducted and researchers have suggested several criteria for evaluating discomfort and the suitability of a tractor seat in a given working condition. The studies have led to various parameters, viz. the body pressure distributed under and supporting both the buttocks, thights and the back of an operator, control of posture in static or dynamic conditions, ride vibration, exposure time on task and other factors. But in the absence of a more definitive and the most logical criteria particularly from biomechanical viewpoint, the researchers will continue to design conditions and procedures to understand the seat dynamics aand evaluate the seating discomfort. Therefore, the research information available is reviewed in this regard and attempts are presented to set the most appropriate procedure for assessment of seating discomfort during tractor driving.
