本文评述国外10～30马力小型拖拉机的发展历史、现状及前景展望。早期发展农业机械化的国家,绝大多数是从小型轮式拖拉机着手,主要原因在于小型轮式拖拉机不需要大型制造、修理设备,价格比较低,可以沿用一部分畜力农机具,适应当时的工业水平或农场规模。近十年来,小型拖拉机在美国和西欧资本主义国家有明显减少的趋势。目前,小型拖拉机在英、美濒临绝境,在西德、法国的产量还比较大,如西德因小农场多,24马力以下的小型拖拉机在1962年还占销售量的31.5％。在苏联还保持着比较稳定的产量, This article reviews the history, current status and prospects of small tractors with 10 ~ 30 hp in foreign countries. The early development of agricultural mechanization in the country, the vast majority started from the small wheeled tractors, mainly because small wheeled tractors do not require large-scale manufacturing, repair equipment, the price is relatively low, you can use a portion of livestock machinery, to adapt to the prevailing industrial level or Farm scale. In the last decade, small tractors have shown a marked reduction in the capitalist countries of the United States and Western Europe. At present, small tractors are at a critical mass in Britain and the United States. Production in West Germany and France is still relatively large. For example, in West Germany, small tractors under 24 horsepower still accounted for 31.5% of sales in 1962. In the Soviet Union also maintained a relatively stable output,
