Was evaluated 43 agricultural wheeled tractors models, with power above 36,8 kW, distributed in seven dealers located in Santa Maria, RS. Data collection was based on the visual verification of the presence or absence of PTO master shield (NR 31, 2013), as well as it dimensional variables (ABNT NBR ISO 500-1, 2016) verified through the use of measuring tape. Regarding the presence, 100% of the analyzed models contained the PTO master shield. Regarding... |
