50% of special holdings used tractors for cultivation, while only 1.68% of household-based land holdings used tractors. (Table 10,11) . About one in three of the household-based land holdings 31.40% used huller machines, while only a few used other farm machinery 2.70% and power tillers 0.14%. (Table 10)

Special land holdings used machinery and equipment more than the household-based land holdings (27.08% used power tillers, 27.08% use huller machines, and 22.92% used other farm machineries).(Table 11)
