Instrumentation for Determining the Pressure on the Soil of Caterpillar Movers of Agricultural Tractors

The results of the development of a technical measuring instrument for assessing the impact of caterpillar movers of agricultural machines on the soil are presented. The design of the sensor, which provides increased accuracy, reliability and objectivity of stress measurement in a homogeneous sandy medium, is justified. A measuring system has been proposed that makes it possible to assess the impact of propellers on the soil.
