<p>The mechanical vibration causes health issues to drivers, such as backache, spinal cord injury, etc. In this regard, a tractor engine plays important role.

Effects of rotational speed and engine load on engine vibration in two modes with and without balancer were investigated.

At fixed rotational speed, increasing load caused an increase in vibration in both observed modes. At 1400 rpm rotational speed and 125 Nm torque, balancer utilization managed to reduce the RMS of secondary vibration by 38.9%.
