ON THE NOMINAL TRACTIVE EFFORT OF AN AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT TRACTOR

Abstract

A classification of tractors has been worked out according to their nominal tractive effort. It is based on a parameter determining the possibility for equipping the tractor with agricultural department lugs and equipment which have a suitable tractive resistance. Various methods for determining the nominal tractive effort of an agricultural department tractor are proposed. It was found that the nominal tractive effort of an agricultural tractor must take into account the tractive effort realized in a stubble field with normal moisture and density on black dirt or clay. Also the nominal tractive effort of a tractor can be determined by the results of traction tests. For planning, it can be calculated roughly in accordance with given tractor parameters.
