The improving of the agricultural machinery efficiency is the simplest way to optimize
the costs of the agricultural operations and maximize the profitability. In the other case the
good management may reduce the environmental impact. The employment of the up-to date
technologies achieves those goals by collecting the information and by using it for improving
the machines productivity. Precision agriculture facilitates the ways to improving the productivity,
reducing the demands of the chemicals and fertilizers and reducing the breakdown
risks, monitoring and mapping systems is a part of precision agriculture which can be used to
predict the farm demands to the chemicals and fertilizers. The using of machine performance
data is one of the most important steps to the good management of the machine it cause to reduce
the operating costs. Telematics system is the simplest way to collect data from the machines
and distribute it to the places of the managers by using a combination of the sensors,
positioning system, telecommunication technologies and a way of processing these data.
Within this study, data has been collected from John Deere telematics system site and used it
side by side with the data records from the farm which are collected manually by the farm
manager. The study compared the performance and utilization data between four types of tillage
