“…The shear stress is measured using the internal pin electronics, which senses a subtle change in the magnetic permeability of the surface material. The draft pin that was developed by Bosch is widely used because of its high accuracy and sensitivity [27,[36][37][38][39][40][41] .…”

The automatic and intelligent degree of tractor hitch system determines the operations quality, efficiency, tractor power output and energy consumption, and automatic control of electro-hydraulic hitch is one of the key technical problems in the realization of automated tractor. In this study, the adjustment methods and characteristics of electro-hydraulic hitch system were summarized. The development of electro-hydraulic hitch control technologies was elaborated and analyzed from both the electro-hydraulic control strategy and slip control strategy perspectives. The implementation methods and control characteristics were discussed. A new idea for the development of automated tractor was put forward that integrating cutting-edge technologies such as big data, fusion control and artificial intelligence. In addition, based on the precise and efficient control of electro-hydraulic hitch system, a high reliability of the control system of the tractor with intelligent application of the control algorithm was obtained. The results can provide a reference for the precise operation of automated tractors under the big data in agriculture.

“…A high precision computerized instrumentation package was developed by Singh and Singh [35] and mounted on a 50 kW tractor to monitor and measure the three-point linkage forces, ground speed, tillage depth, fuel consumption, forward speed, wheel slip, engine speed, hydraulic pressure and fluid temperatures. They measured the fuel flow rate with turbine flow transducer which located between the main fuel tank and the injection pump.…”

Estimating the amount of fuel consumption of an agricultural tractor during various tillage operations will help the selection of the best conservation practices for farm equipment. Draft requirements often dictate the size of the power unit required on a particular farm and, therefore, will also be required for energy management decisions. They will also be considered a prominent factor during the selection of a tractor’s machinery and power source. In addition, ground speed measurement is not only necessary for many agricultural machinery applications but also to monitor and map crop yield and properly change the application rate of agricultural inputs. There are several methods and techniques to measure a tractor’s fuel consumption, draft force, and ground speed. All these methods have many advantages and disadvantages depending on the tractor, the implement used, and the operating conditions. This article reviews some of these methods, providing scope for further research to focus on the potential development and improvement of the measurement methods, and this could positively affect the accuracy of the data and final results of the research.

“…The necessary condition for developing a sustainable agriculture is to raise the overall efficiency of farm machines by: (1) increasing their annual exploitation, (2) keeping constant their performance over the time. This intensive control on machines must necessarily imply: (a) the implementation of a Farm-Information-System (FIS) based on a client-server approach, to acquire and manage information needed for taking decisions at both farm and territorial scale, through a Farm-Operational-Monitoring, using telemetry and data-loggers on tractors and implements (Mazzetto, Calcante, & Salomoni, 2009;Sahu & Raheman, 2008;Yule, Kohnen, & Nowak, 1999), (b) the proposal of solutions that are economical, simple, robust, reliable and effective in acquiring selected engine parameters (Singh & Singh, 2011).…”

The TRAKTnet.one project aims to identify and develop new solutions to remotely monitor the efficiency of farm-tractors engines included in a local voluntary network. The knowledge of tractors’ efficiency can give important information concerning machines’ consumption, emissions and need for servicing, thus contributing to a more environmentally-sustainable agriculture. Engines will be monitored by measuring rpms, exhaust gas temperature and oxygen content (through lambda sensors) and then analysing and inferring the data through procedures, which algorithms will be an integral part of the project’s results. Trials will be performed on different engines and at different speeds/loads. The choice of the thermocouple type and installation point must be done carefully for not influencing sensitivity and response time. The final outcome of the project is expected to be an automatic system, based on an inference software-engine able to correctly interpreting the sensors outputs. The advantage of this proposal is to exploit a farm monitoring network, previously designed for managing the information related to the automatic compilation of records in the country, by simply equipping data loggers with two additional sensors.
