Agriculture remains a primary source of livelihood in many developing regions, yet many farmers face challenges in accessing modern agricultural machinery due to high purchasing costs and limited availability. Small and medium-scale farmers often cannot afford expensive equipment such as tractors, harvesters, and other farming tools, which affects productivity and efficiency. To address this issue, this research presents KhetSetGo – Empowering Farmers and Machine Owners, a web-based platform designed to connect farmers who require agricultural machinery with machine owners willing to rent their equipment. The platform enables machine owners to post available machinery with relevant details, while farmers can easily browse, view machine information, and place booking requests according to their agricultural needs. The proposed system is developed using Java Server Pages (JSP), Servlets, MySQL database, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and is deployed on the Apache Tomcat server. The platform includes features such as user authentication, OTP-based password recovery, machine listing with media support, and booking management between farmers and machine owners. By enabling an online rental marketplace for agricultural equipment, the system helps reduce machinery costs for farmers while improving equipment utilization for owners. The implementation of KhetSetGo demonstrates how digital platforms can support smart farming practices and improve accessibility to agricultural resources through an efficient and user-friendly system.
