Selection of tractor and implements has been very important aspect in farm mechanization because of availability of variety of tractor models ranging from 15 to 75 kW and variety of implement sizes in the market. The main purpose of the study was to develop a computer based decision support system which could be able to predict the size of tractor required for an implement and vice-versa for a selected soil type and soil conditions. The decision support system was developed in visual studio platform using visual basic dot net programming language as front end MS Access as backend. The database contained the details of various tractor models and implement models available in the locality. Validation of developed decision support system was carried out and Paired T-test was conducted for predicted values and actual values available which showed that the predicted and actual values are insignificant @ 5 % level of significance. The results showed that the DSS worked well in matching tractor power and implement sizes for better performance of the system.
