Catarpillars: pressure upon the soil, stalling coefficient, influence on traction characteristics
The article deals with the introduction of powerful modern tractor technology in agricultural production, which adversely affects soil fertility and crop yield; pressure crawler tractors on the soil depending on the design of the chassis. The table describes the traction characteristics, pressure coefficients on the soil and slip coefficients, on the example of tractors DT, HTZ, Belarus, T130, Rostov. It is concluded that the crawler tractors are securely linked to the ground and have a low specific pressure on it. This provides crawler tractors with higher cross-country capability than wheeled tractors.
