One of the main variables that affect the productive performance of operators of agricultural tractors and can cause serious health problems is the vibration generated during the operation of the machine. This work aimed to evaluate the vibration that affects the whole body of the operator through the seat of a farm tractor in a standardized vibration track test. It was used a 92 kW tractor with four conditions of ballasting: full weight, employing only solid ballast, only liquid ballast and completely without ballast, in four speeds of displacement: 1.19 m s-1; 1.47 m s-1; 1.75 m s-1 and 2.08 m s-1, and three combinations of inflation pressures in the rear and front axle, respectively: 82.73 kPa and 110.31 kPa; 110.31 kPa and 137,85 kPa and 137.85 kPa and 165.47 kPa. It was utilized a three-axis accelerometer (x, y, and z axes), fixed on the tractor seat for evaluation of the effect of vibration on the whole body of the operator. The acquisition was made with HVM-100 and software BLAZE ® 6.1.1, being obtained the average acceleration parameters, maximum and minimum acceleration, vibration dose value, the crest factor and the dose projection to 8 hours of work. It was realized the analysis of variance and average separation for all components analysed, and analysis of major components for the values of average acceleration and vibration dose value. All the statistical analyses were made with Tukey test at 5% probability (p < 0.05). Combinations of tire inflation pressures doesn't affected the values of vibration that occured on whole body of the operator. The speed was the factor that showed greater influence on vibration of the whole body of the operator, where the smallest tractor displacement speed resulted in the best scenarios. The maximum ballast presented the best scenarios for the operator when combined with the lower speed. For the vibration dose value was not found values above the ...
