농용(農用)트랙터 이용(利用)에 관(關)한 조사연구(調査硏究)(I) -경영형태별(經營形態別) 농작업이용실태분석(農作業利用實態分析)-

This survey was conducted to investigate the present status of farm tractor utilization for obtaining a basic reference to the establishment of the government's agricultural mechanization strategies. Thirty two counties from the eight provinces except Jeju were covered in this study. From these selected areas, 433 sample farms having farm tractor were taken to obtain the general informations by the enquete, and 93 sample farms among them to investigate the status of daily tractor use in the year of 1980. The analyzed results are summarized as follows: 1. Farm tractors owned by the rice-oriented farms holds 71.5 percent of the total number of tractors the livestock-oriented farms 17.0 percent, and the orchard-oriented farms 7.0 percent. Among the farm tractors 64.3 percent was a large size (46ps) and 35.7 percent a small size(19~23ps). 2. Most of the tractors surveyed were equipped with the essential attachments such as plow and rotavator. About 18 percent of the tractor owners had no trailer, which seemed too high considering the large percentage of tractor use for transportation. The availability of other attachments was very low except a grader on the rice-oriented farms and a hay harvester and a front loader on the livestock-oriented farms. 3. The average size of farm was 3.9 hectare for the rice-oriented farms, 13.9 hectare for the livestock-oriented farms and 7.4 hectare for the orchard-oriented farms. It was obious that the average farm size of was too small compared to the theoretical machine capacity of the tractors. 4. About 70 percent of the tractor operators were in the age of twenties and thirties. About 90 percent of them had an educational level of middle school graduate or above even though their technical level was very low. 5. Any particular problem in tractor use was not found in this survey. From the farmer's preference for purchasing a new tractor, however, it is estimated the demand on a 20-30ps tractor will be more increased. 6. The average annual use of tractor was of about 100 days or 400 hours. It appeared that the rice-oriented farms used most with 412.4 hours per year, and followed by the livestock-oriented farms with 403.6 hours, the orchard oriented farms with 377.7 hours. 7. Among the total hours of tractor use, 47.3 percent was for transportation, and 41.6 percent was for plowing and rotary tillage. The largest portion of the annual tractor use was taken by transportation on the livestock-oriented farms, by land preperation on the rice-oriented farms, and by loading and chemical spraying on the orchard-oriented farms. 8. The hours of tractor use had a peak in May. The hours of use for own farm was remarkably different among the different farm oriented, but there was no considerable difference between the too different sizes of tractor. 9. The hours of tractor use decreased as the age of the operator or the educational level increased. The reason might be that the operators who had a high educational level or were older had a tendency of disliking custom works. 10. The average custom use of tractor was 171.3 hours per year, and the ratio of custom work was 63.7 percent on the rice-oriented farms, 31.7 percent on the livestock-oriented farms and 22.4 percent on the orchard-oriented farms. Among the custom works, the most popular one was the grader leveling. 11. The charge on custom work was about 40,000 Won per hectare for plowing and rotary tillage, and it was the most expensive in the southeastern region, and next followed by the southwestern region. 12. The average plowing capacity of the small tractor was 7.8 hours per hectare in the paddy field, and that of the large tractors was 4.3 hours per hectare. The average rotary-tilling capacities of the small and the large tractors were 6.5 and 4.3 hours per hectare, in the paddy field respectively.

보급초기(普及初期)에 있는 농용(農用)트랙터의 농가이용실태(農家利用實態)를 조사분석(調査分析)하여 정부(政府)의 농업기계화시책(農業機械化施策)의 기초자료(基礎資料)로 활용(活用)하고자 8개도(個道) 32개군(個郡)을 대상(對象)으로 설문(設問)과 기장조사(記帳調査)를 통(通)하여 '80년(年) 1월(月)부터 12월말(月末)까지 트랙터의 농작업이용실태(農作業利用實態) 및 농가특성(農家特性)을 조사분석(調査分析)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 가. 트랙터는 수도작농가(水稻作農家)에 71.5%, 축산농가(畜産農家) 17.0%, 과수농가(果樹農家) 7.0%, 기타농가(其他農家) 4.5%의 비율(比率)로 분포(分布)되어 있으며, 이중 64.3%는 대형(大型)트랙터이었고 35.7%가 소형(小型)트랙터(19~23ps)이었다. 나. 부착작업기(附着作業機)중 쟁기와 로타베이터는 대부분(大部分)이 보유(保有)하고 있었으나 소형(小型)트랙터의 트레일러는 보유율(保有率)이 70.6%로, 농작업(農作業)에서 운반작업(運搬作業)이 차지하는 비중(比重)을 감안할 때, 비교적(比較的) 낮았으며, 기타(其他) 작업기(作業機)는 균평작업기(均平作業機)를 제외(除外)하고는 보급률(普及率)이 극(極)히 저조(低調)하였다. 다. 트랙터소유농가(所有農家)의 대당평균(臺當平均) 경작면적(耕作面積)은 수도작농가(水稻作農家) 3.9%, 축산농가(畜産農家) 13.9%, 과수농가(果樹農家) 7.4(ha)이었으며 이러한 규모(規模)는 트랙터의 부담가능면적(負擔可能面積)에 훨씬 미달(未達)하는 규모(規模)이었다. 라. 트랙터 운전자(運轉者)의 연령(年齡)은 20,30대(代)가 약(約) 70%이었고, 90%이상(以上)이 중졸이상(中卒以上)의 학력(學歷)을 가졌으며, 학력수준(學歷水準)이나 경력(經歷)에 비(比)하여 정비기술(整備技術)은 아주 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 마. 현(現) 보급기종(普及機種)의 마력규모(馬力規模)나 성능상(生能上)의 별 다른 문제점(問題點)은 발견(發見)되지 않았으나 농민(農民)의 마력성향(馬力生向)으로 보아 앞으로 20-30마력범위(馬力範圍)의 소형(小型)트랙터 수요(需要)가 증가(增加)될 것으로 예측(豫測)된다. 바. 트랙터의 각종(各種) 농작업이용시간(農作業利用時間)은 연간(年間) 약(約) 100일(日)에 400hr로 나타났으며 수도작농가(水稻作農家)가 412.4hr로 가장 높고 과수농가(果樹農家)가 377.7hr로 가장 낮았다. 사. 연간이용시간중(年間利用時間中) 운반작업(運搬作業)이 47.3%, 경운정지작업(耕耘整地作業)이 41.6%이었으며, 운반작업(軍搬作業)은 축산농가(畜産農家), 경운정지(耕耘整地) 및 평균작업(均平作業)은 수도작농가(水稻作農家), 기타작업(其他作業)은 과수농가(果樹農家)가 가장 많았다. 마력별(馬力別)로는 운반(運搬), 정지(整地) 및 방제작업(防除作業)은 대형(大型)트랙터 보다는 소형(小型)트랙터가, 경운(耕耘), 균평(均平), 로다작업(作業)은 대형(大型)보다 소형(小型)트랙터가 많았다. 아. 월별(月別) 이용시간(利用時間)은 5월(月)에 가장 높은 피크현상(現象)을 가졌으며, 자가이용시간(自家利用時間)이 경영형태(經營形態)에 따라서는 현저(顯著)한 차이(差異)를 가졌으나 마력별(馬力別)로는 별차(別差)가 없었던 반면(反面)에, 총이용시간(總利用時間)은 정반대(正反對)의 현상(現象)으로 마력(馬力)에 따른 차이(差異)는 현저(顯著)하나 경영형태(經營形態)에 따른 차이(差異) 별로 없는 것으로 나타났다. 자. 운전자(運轉者)의 학력수준(學力水準)이 높고 연령(年歷)이 많을 수록 이용시간(利用時間)은 감소(減少)되었으며 이는 학력(學歷)이 높고 연령(年歷)이 많은 경우(境遇) 임작업(賃作業)을 기피(忌避)하는 현상(現象)때문인 것으로 사료(思料)되었다. 차. 대당평균(臺當平均) 연간(年間) 임작업시간(賃作業時間)은 171.3hr으로 이중 균평작업(均平作業)이 35.4%로 가장 높았으며, 임작업율(貨作業率)은 수도작농가(水稻作農家)가 63.7%, 축산농가(畜産農家) 31.7%, 과수농가(果樹農家) 22.4%이었으며 작업별(作業別)로는 균평작업(均平作業)의 임작업율(賃作業率)이 78.2%로 가장 높았다. 카. 임작업료(賃作業料)는 경운정지작업(耕耘整地作業)은 ha당(當) 40,000선(線)이었으며 지역(地域)에 따라 영남지방(嶺南地方)이 가장 비싸고 중부지방(中部地方)이 비교적(比較的) 싼것으로 나타났다. 다. 경운작업능률(耕耘作業能率)은 논에서 소형(小型)은 7.8hr/ha, 대형(大型)트랙터는 4.3hr/ha이었으며, 정지작업능률(整地作業能率)은 각각(各各) 6.5, 4.3hr/ha이었다.
