The agricultural industry is crucial to the development of the national economy. Inadequate agricultural equipment maintenance could result to a huge economic impact, especially during the harvest period. Thus, this study highlighted on the importance of condition monitoring of agricultural machinery/equipment for enhanced agricultural productions. The study established that adequate condition monitoring of agricultural machineries provides reliability data that will help in the implementation of the integrity of maintenance strategies. Additionally, adequate health monitoring of the advanced machineries will help in improving the efficiency of the machines as well as improving the overall agricultural productivity. This study provides great insight to farmers on the way to monitor and maintain the health of their agricultural machineries.
Key words: Maintenance / Condition monitoring / Agricultural production / failure / reliability
