Today, there is a significant mechanization of agriculture, which is designed to facilitate the work of the driveroperator and prevent the driver-operators from getting health problems during the performance of agricultural work. Therefore, such processes become a priority, because the increase in the energy content of tractors, the increase in speed during the execution of technological and transport operations, the variety of machines and tools aggregated by the tractor - inevitably lead to an increase in the impact of vibrations on the body of the operator-driver. In order to create real competition, domestic manufacturers need to implement modern solutions, which is not possible without high-quality cooperation with scientists. Therefore, the material of this article aims to analyze the implementation of the suspension system of the cab of a wheeled tractor on the indicators of smoothness of the wheeled tractor (vertical accelerations on the seat) when moving on various road surfaces. When solving the set goal, a technique was used that involved the use of the Dalembert principle, i.e., in the calculation model of the system from the massive elements, all available bonds were conditionally broken, then the action of the discarded bonds was compensated by the reactions of the bonds. As a result, the dependence of the change in vertical accelerations on the seat of the driver-operator of the KhTZ-160U tractor on the speed of movement (frequency of external influence) when moving on surfaces was obtained. The practical significance of the work lies in the provision of positive evaluation results regarding the reduction of the impact of vibrations on the body of the operator-driver for the domestic tractor industry through the introduction of the cabin suspension system.
The article provides an evaluative analysis of the wheeled agricultural tractor’s running systems soil interaction. A sample of more than 600 MFWD tractors of the world's leading manufacturers was subject to analysis. To determine the parameters of the maximum soil pressure, the value of the footprint gross flat plate area is applied, assuming that the tires are operated under conditions characterized by the speed index A6 with a significant torque for a long time. It is obtained the calculated function of the probability distribution of the maximum pressure on the soil of a sample of modern wheeled tractors with a fixed location of the centre of gravity (weight distribution). The designed arrangement of the centre of gravity of tractors by groups with the corresponding rolling circumference indexes difference ΔRCI =4...9 was analysed. It was established that for general and universal purpose tractors with ΔRCI = 4...6 the most common weight distribution coefficient is 0.40 or 0.44. For special (utility) tractors with ΔRCI = 7...9, the most common weight distribution coefficient is 0.45...0.46. An analysis of the maximum soil pressure in a wide range of the traction force of the tractor while maintaining a constant optimal weight distribution, which depends on the ratio of the footprint gross flat plate area of the front and rear tires, was carried out. The analysis showed that maintaining a constant optimal weight distribution during traction operations makes it possible to reduce the maximum pressure on the soil by 8...40 kPa. This makes it possible to increase the part of the territory of Ukraine, where modern wheeled tractors with single tires can be operated without violating agro-ecological requirements, by 14%.
The paper presents a mathematical model for determining the traction and dynamic performance of tractors using PowerMix field test cycles. The mathematical model was successfully tested, during which a set of traction-dynamic parameters of a wheeled tractor with the maximum discrepancy on individual indicators relative to experimental data, which is -8.4… + 7.9%. A plan of a simulation experiment is proposed, which takes into account the distribution of the annual volume of spring and summer-autumn tractor work by typical agricultural operations, and includes loading traction cycles with power take-off through PTO and hydraulic system of the tractor. To assess the efficiency of tractors based on a set of traction-dynamic indicators obtained from field PowerMix test cycles, developed a method of bringing the simulation results to the performance of the base tractor with a capacity of 100 kW, which corresponds to the basic cycles PowerMix. The technique makes it possible to compare tractors of arbitrary design solutions and power. As an example, the results of modeling the traction and dynamic performance of the New Holland T6.180 tractor on PowerMix field test cycles determined the average values of productivity and per hectare of fuel consumption plowed by the base tractor, which are 1,239 ha / h and 14.58 kg / ha, respectively
