Özet
The objective of this study was to provide the basic data related to the tractor such as power ratiosand annual use along with the production pattern, type of farms, farm size and their fragmentation,soil properties. In order to meet the above objective a survey study was conducted in 2013 in fourprovinces of the Aegean region namely Aydın, Denizli, İzmir and Manisa.Using a GPS device, thecoordinates of the location of the agricultural lands were also found in order to analyze the data forfurther evaluation and GeoMedia Professional 6.0 CBS software. The results from the studyindicated that the annual use of tractors is about 650 hours and the surveyed land is a typical exampleand resembles the whole country in terms of average land size and fragmented land structure. Thetotal land owned by 305 farmers was calculated to be 4023.1 ha and each farmer has 7.47 ha land.On the other hand, the average parcel size was found to be 0.86 ha. The distance between the parcelsranged between 0.5-10 km mostly while %12 of the lands was out of this range.
