dc.description.abstract	Agriculture in India is unique in its characteristics, where over 250 different crops are cultivated in its varied agro-climatic regions, unlike 25 to 30 crops grown in many of the developed nations of the world. Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the Indian economy contributing 14 per cent of national GDP, about 12.7 per cent of total exports and supporting two-thirds of the work force. Farm mechanization has been helpful to bring about a significant improvement in agricultural productivity. Thus, there is strong need for mechanization of agricultural operations. The timeliness of operations has assumed greater significant in obtaining optimal yields from different crops, which has been possible by way of mechanization. Hence, research study conducted to ‘Farm equipments utilization pattern and farmers’ satisfaction level of mini tractors in Junagadh district’ was undertaken with the objective of studying socio-economic characteristics, socio-economic characteristics and adoption, satisfaction level of farmers towards mini tractor, used pattern for mini tractor and its equipments and mechanization index. Multi stage sampling technique was adopted as per the objectives of the study. The statistical tools adopted for the analysis of data were tabular method, graphical method, regression model, likert scale and chi-square test. Junagadh, Visavadar, Bhesan and Manavadar these four taluka form Junagadh district were selected and 80 sample farmers were selected randomly from four taluka as 20 farmers in each taluka. In the study area it was found that highest per cent of farmers belonged to age group of 45 to 65 years and majority of farmers were illiterate.

It was found that many of farmers use M.B. plough, rotavetor, cultivator, intercultural operation and transport; farmers not use thresher and irrigation system by tractor. Most of farmers are using different equipment in the district and farmers are satisfy with use of mini tractor. Irrigation mechanization index is highest mechanization index in district it found 88.33 per cent. According to the study lowest mechanization index was found of fertilizer application and threshing.	en_US
