guaranteeing the safety of operations and availability of machines and related equipment for cultivation operation. Moreover,
it is one major cost for agriculture operations.
maintenance improvement, aiming at the reduction of maintenance expenditures while keeping the safety of operations. This
issue is addressed by the methodology presented in this paper. So, the aim of this paper was to give brief introduction to
various preventive maintenance systems specially condition-based maintenance (CBM) techniques, selection of condition
monitoring techniques and understanding of condition monitoring (CM) intervals, advancement in CBM, standardization of
CBM system, CBM approach on agricultural machinery, advantages and disadvantages of CBM.
methodology consists of concept condition monitoring approach for the equipment preventive maintenance; its purpose is the
identification of state-of-the-art in the CM of agricultural machinery, describing the different maintenance strategies, CM
techniques and methods. The second step builds the signal processing procedure for extracting information relevant to
targeted failure modes.
