Observation of load transfer from fully mounted plough to tractor wheels by analysis of three point hitch forces during ploughing

The Impact of Upper Link Length on the Output Parameters of a Tractor Set

“…The paper from Bauer et al (2017) deals with a similar issue and it clearly demonstrates a significant impact of the adjustment of the upper link and the associated transmission of forces on the rear wheels of the pulling vehicle as a tool for increasing the effectiveness of performed work while maintaining the qualitative parameters. Similar results in the verification of the impact of the correct length of the upper link of the three-point hitch during ploughing were reached also by Čupera and Šmerda, where a decrease in slippage and consequently the overall improvement of performance parameters of the set is demonstrably visible.…”

“…The basic equipment of today's tractors includes the control hydraulics of the three-point hitch, which is designed to partially lighten a machine aggregated in the three-point hitch of a tractor in case of increased slippage or force in lower links of the three-point hitch according to pre-set values and thereby transfer a part of the weight of a connected machine to rear wheels of a tractor (Bauer et al, 2013). This will increase the weight on the rear axle of a tractor and reduce the slippage of drive wheels, which will have a positive impact on fuel consumption and the effectiveness of the performance of the given agrotechnical operation (Bauer et al, 2017). The elimination of slippage by loading of the rear axle of a drawing vehicle is also possible with a so-called traction booster used for partially carried or carried machines that are aggregated in the three-point hitch and placed on the aggregated machine.…”

Analysis of the market of electric tractors in agricultural production

“…Incorporation of electric drives in tractor and agricultural machinery presents advantages in terms of increased energy efficiency and expanded functionalities [8]. Possibilities to improve work efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, and thus reduce exhaust emissions from agricultural tractors, were presented in research [9][10][11]. Magalhaes et al in the paper [12] described the main researches with proposals to overcome the problems of implementing electric tractors, as supply and electricity storage.…”

Heavy commercial vehicle yaw control simulation

“…Multibody method of the mechanism simulation is a commonly used tool for complex mechanisms analysis and it is suitable for various types of tasks from handling robots to agricultural machinery [2]. Several commercial multibody programs have specialized packages for simulations of the complete vehicles and vehicle subsystems.…”
