Survey is applied in the South Eastern Anatolia Project (GAP) provinces with 68 farmers, 22 service stations and 18 spare parts dealers. Target audiences within the scope o f the survey were asked 20 questions. They have chosen the failures that were occurred on their tractors. Obtained results are compared with the tractor failures registered in services. Based on the results of the questionnaire: Engine component failure % 26.1 , Electrical system failure %22.8, steering failure % 11.2, hydraulic system failure %10.7, transmission failure % 6.6, clutch failure % 6.4, front axle failure % 5.5, brake system failure % 3.9, bonnet failure % 3.5 and rear axle failure % 3.3. The service tractor failure registration results : Engine component failure % 28.6, Hydraulic system failure % 24.9, steering failure 11.1, transmission failure % 8.3, % 6.3 electrical system failure, % 6.2 front axle failure, % 5.6 brake system failure, % 4.4 rear axle failure, % 3.9 clutch failure and % 0.7 bonnet failure to became fact. Ratios of a lot of failures which have been repaired excluding itself ateliers of services (Electric, bonnet, pump etc.) had been come lower than expected. In this study, the variations of tractor failures are determined and the related solutions are provided to end user of tractors for prevent any possible failures. <br /> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Harran University}
