Summary: Changes in tractor contract operations in Nueva Ecija between 1972 and 1980 were analyzed. Benefit-cost ratios were calculated for two-wheel and four-wheel tractors. The areas revised for both tractor types required to break-even. Results showed that, at current contract rates and with current utilization patterns, two-wheel tractor ownership from a purely profit-oriented view point, is not viable. All two-wheel tractor owners were farmers with a main concern to prepare their own lands. Hence, there were many non-pecuniary interest not included in the benefit-cost analysis. No significant differences were noted between the 1972 and 1980
