Abstract

The operation of self-propelled sprayers requires considerable physical and mental efforts of operators. The correct layout of controls significantly increases operating efficiency. This study aimed to verify and compare the location of more as well as less frequently used operating commands in five brands of self-propelled sprayers, according to the ISO 15077 standards. The coordinates of the main operating commands were measured in relation to the Seat Index Point. The data revealed that the number of commands decreases with increasing technological level of the equipment. The models 4730 and Patriot 350 had 100% of frequent access commands controls within the Comfort Zone in both profiles, while the models Impactus 2750, Patriot 350 and Gladiator 3000, had commands located in Inaccessible Zone. Thus we can conclude that there is great variation in the models as to the number of commands, are located within the Comfort Zone in sprayer models with higher technological level and to a lesser extent in models of low technological level.
