Implementation of agricultural mechanization such as the use of tractor is required to improve farming efficiency and increase the production capacity in term of strengthening global food security. The farmland in Indonesia is characterized as small farmland which imposes to higher time required for turning operation of tractor. The conventional design of tractor used non-holonomic maneuvering system which requires higher turning angle and increases the non-productive time during turning operation which is categorized as waste in farmland preparation using tractor. This paper proposed a prototype design model of an Omni-wheeled tractor to reduce unnecessary movement which enable tractor to make maneuver omni-directionally. This paper offered a concept of holonomic maneuvering system of tractor design to support the omni-directional motions on the farmland surfaces. The prototype design included the modification in operator space and three-point hitch design which allow operator to change direction of the motion and position of the implement to the desired direction. The comparison between the conventional tractor design and the proposed design prototype was highlighted for different size and shape of farmland. To generate the comparison, computer simulation using MATLAB software was constructed to calculate the both operating time and operational efficiency for both conventional tractor design with non-holonomic system and the proposed prototype design model. The results showed that the proposed protype design model with holonomic maneuver system allows tractors to move omnidirectionally; can reduce the time losses during turning time and increase the operational efficiency which is suitable to use in a limited size of farmland
