Pressure Tests in Soil below Tires of Agricultural Vehicles

Abstract

Design and measuring method of a cheap and efficient soil pressure gauge are described. Soil tank tests carried out in the laboratory demonstrate some properties of the gauge like indifference towards orientation in soil. In the soil bin the gauge measures pressures below tires rolling over and outside in the field the influence of wheel load, number of passes and vehicle speed are investigated. The results are interpreted with modified formulas of Soehne, which can be managed by a pocket calculator.
