Abstract
A field survey was conducted to compare the working performance and cost of three types of power tillers for tillage operations in the Kampar Region of Riau Province in Indonesia. A total of 22 rotary tillers, 11 moldboard plows, and 27 hydro tillers were purposively selected from seven districts in the region. The managers, custom operators, and mechanics of these machines were interviewed in 2012 and 2013 to collect data. The results showed that hydro tillers were the best in terms of their working performance, operational cost savings, and profitability. These machines must be employed for only 3.07ha/season for operators to break even. For these reasons, it is suggested that farmers would benefit most by choosing hydro tillers for tillage operations.
