Women are equally capable of carrying all the works that the men can do at the agricultural field. But it is strange that they were not selected for operating agricultural machineries. Especially they were not well expert in tractor operation. So a study was conducted to analyse the anthropometric and strength parameters required for the tractor operator workspace design. The comparison of anthropometric data indicated that out of twenty seven anthropometric parameters except ten parameters via. Buttock Popliteal height, elbow rest height, wall to acromian, shoulder grip length, thigh clearance sitting, hip breadth sitting, grip diameter, grip span and span akimbo were having higher values for female workers than that of male workers.
