| Abstract;An investigation was conducted on the trend of power tillers in northeastern Thailand. The study revealed that the usage of power tillers increased by about 10 times from 1986 to 1995 in this region. The motivation for mechanization with power tillers among the small and medium scale farmers was found to be rather high in this region. At the same time, the rapid increase of light pickups has taken the place of conventional farm trucks. These changes are aimed at laborsaving and ease of use. The future trend of small tractors in this region has been predicted. Because of limitations in owning large tractors privately, small power tillers are considered to be the fundamental private farm machinery for northeastern Thailand. On the assumption that the use or lease, and hiring type systems are established for large four-wheel tractors, the appropriate structure as well as a system for the practical application of small tractors are discussed.
