it is very important to test and evaluate the performance and ability of new-design machinery in comparison with available ones. based on this, a tractor front-mounted rice reaper was compared and evaluated with tiller- mounted and self-propelled reapers. field experiments were conducted to determine forward speed, field capacity, harvesting losses, labor and costs. experiments were conducted b...

Based on the analysis of operating conditions tractor, a Hybrid four-wheel drive tractor is proposed, and formulate torque distribution control strategy based fuzzy control, to driving wheel slip rate in high traction efficiency range tractor. The vehicle model established AVL-CRUISE software, MATLAB/Simulink software. co-simulation was carried out plowing condition simulation results show that...

Many parameters such as dynamic load of tractor drive wheels influence the traction of tractors. An increase in dynamic load of drive wheel increases the net traction, but excess dynamic load decreases the tractive efficiency that must be avoided. Development of tractor-mounted implements due to good maneuvering and weight transfer from front axle to rear axle led to effective performance of tr...

Tractors are the workhorses of the modern farm. By automating these machines, we can increase the productivity, improve safety, and reduce costs for many agricultural operations. Many researchers have tested computer-controlled machines for farming, but few have investigated the larger issues such as how humans can supervise machines and work amongst them. In this paper, we present a system for...

It is challenging to develop a control algorithm that uses only one sensor to guide an autonomous vehicle. The objective of this research was to develop a control algorithm with a single sensor for an autonomous agricultural vehicle that could identify landmarks in the row-type plantation environment and navigate a vehicle to a point-to-go target location through the plantation. To enable such ...

In accordance with the agricultural row-crops cultivation practices adopted in Central Asian region, machine-tractor units carry out a large number of passes through field during growing season. Consequently, individual sections fields are repeatedly affected by running systems these machines, which negatively affects soil fertility. The universal row-crop tractors used cotton production have t...

measurement of the values of forces in tractor arms is of great importance due to draft of agricultural equipment. these values can be used for testing and evaluation of the agricultural machinery, selection of suitable tractor, etc. the tools which are used for measurement of the forces are called dynamometer. the main objective of the present study was to design and evaluate a load cell for i...

Matching agricultural tractors to implements towed by the drawbar is one of the important aspects of machinery management for ensuring optimum performance and fuel cost savings. A field deployable tractor draft force measurement and data acquisition system was developed and evaluated as part of this research project. A drawbar instrumented to measure draft force in field operating conditions wa...
