“…However, other factors are important. Reis et al (2014) used the multicriteria methodology to identify and evaluate a basis for purchasing decisions using PRONAF resources about low-power tractors that could be used by smallholders in the region of Pelotas, RS. The results were gathered into six main categories: operational cost (weight 0.20), acquisition cost (weight 0.22), ease of maintenance (weight 0.10), tractor capacity (weight 0.26), ergonomics (weight 0.14), and safety (weight 0.08).…”
