the object of this study was evaluation of a walking tractor drawn peanut harvester at different conditions of soil moisture content and forward speed and comparing it with manual harvesting. the evaluation factors for peanut harvester were two levels of soil moisture content and three levels of forward speed. the results revealed that the effect of soil moisture content was only significant on...

Fatalities due to tractor overturns have long plagued the U.S. farm community. Constituting 20% of agricultural fatalities, tractor overturns contribute significantly to high rates of fatal injuries. In the past, many efforts have been directed toward reducing tractor overturns, with one successful US-based program offering rebates to farmers who retrofit their tractors with rollover protective...

Simultaneous (or concurrent) Engineering, is a concept which should be normal nowadays. Then, without early and simultaneous involvement of all departments, specialists, special suppliers and potential external consultants, you are no longer able to develop these ever more complex agricultural machines. In that case „simultaneous“ means to be faster on the market, because all manufacturers can ...

BACKGROUND Agricultural tractor overturns without rollover protective structures are the leading cause of farm fatalities in the United States. To our knowledge, no studies have incorporated the spatial scan statistic in identifying high-risk areas for tractor overturns. The aim of this study was to determine whether tractor overturns cluster in certain parts of Kentucky and identify factors as...

The article contains generalized systems of equations describing the vertical and longitudinal-angular vibrations main parts tractor with mathematical model hierarchical linear oscillation tractor, irregularities roads, taking into account rigidity damping. It includes systems: skeleton over propellers a on an uneven road; cab rear walking roads. Equation have also been compiled that describe o...

Previous studies have reported that tractors are responsible for high proportions of fatal and nonfatal agricultural injuries. However, many common and preventable risk factors, conditions, and associated costs related to tractor-related injuries have not been investigated. This case-based study used workers' compensation data to investigate tractor-related injuries. The objectives of this stud...
