N2  - The research aim is to developed the traditional tractor steering system and how to choice and design the hydraulic steering of the tractor using local material and how to the steering components such as pump, steering unit, custom steering shaft, cylinder, double-shear clevis ends for the cylinder and rod are compatible with each other. On the basis of the tractor IMT (26.1 kW) the hydraulic steering is conducted and the lab and field experiments are carried out. The theoretical calculated is don and the experiments are recognized in the Tractor and Machinery Testing Station at Alexandria, Agricultural Engineering Researches -Institute, Agricultural Researches Center, El-Dokki - El-Giza, Egypt. From the experiments the actual outer front wheels steering angles "?o" increased with the inner steering angles "?i". It varied from about (0.0 to 35.69 degrees) at values of (?i) varying from about "0.0 to 50 degrees" respectively. The turning radius (R) increased with the increasing of inner and outer front wheel steering angles (?o & ?i). The Valuesvf turning radius(R) varied from about [151.4 em to 5154.5 em] at values of (?i) varying/rom about [(0.0 to 50) degrees] and (?o) variedfrom about [(0.0 to 35.69) degrees] respectively
