PHILIPPINE AGRICULTUUAL ENGINEERING STANDARD PAES 150:2010 Agricultural Machinery - Subsoilcr - Methods of Test The formulation of this national standard was initiated by the Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Center (AMTEC) under the project entitled "Developlnent of Standards for Agricultural Production and Postharvest Machinery" fimded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development - Department of Science and Technology (PCARRD - DOST). This standard has been technically prepared in accordance with BPS Directives Part 3:2003 - Rules for the Structure and Drafting of International Standards. The word "shall" is used to indicate mandatory requirements to conform to the standard. The word "should" is used to indicate that among several possibilities one is recommended as particularly suitable without mentioning or excluding others. In the preparation of this standard, the following documents/publications were considered: ABT 49 Field Equipment Operation Alberta Faml Machinery Research Centre. 1981. Evaluation Report 643.
