Comparison of Two and Four Track Machines to Rubber Tire Tractors in Prairie Soil Conditions

Abstract: Traction performance tests were run by Alberta Farm Machinery Research Centre personnel on fourwheel drive tractors with single, dual and triple rubber tires and on track tractors with two and four rubber belt tracks. Traction power delivery efficiency was compared in various tilled and untilled soil conditions representative of the Northern Great Plains. Various ballast setups and tire inflation pressures were tested. Power hop problems, steering performance, ease of setup and overall system costs were also e… Show more

“…The obtained results partially refer to the results presented by other researchers. The nature of changes of the course of power lost on slide and rolling resistance seems to be related to the paper by Materka (2004) and Turner (1995). In other papers authors showed that stabilization of the course of the towing power takes place at slides 15-20% (Jenane et al, 1996;Materek, 2008).…”
