Abstract

The study established the sitting position reached envelope of CALABARZON male farmers using Reach Analysis program and Fuzzy logic method. The minimum, average and maximum reaches without flexion are 63.,6cm and 75.4cm, respectively. The comfortable reach envelope was established and validated by a qualitative survey. ANalysis revealed that the most comfortable reach envelope for both left and right hands is the region 38.6cm to 62.7cm between 30 degrees to 90 degrees reckoned from sideward reach position. The gathered results are recommended to be used for standardization of the placement of controls in agricultural machines.
