In order to utilize energy in the most efficient way in off-road vehicles, soil–wheel interaction
should be investigated carefully since considerable amount of energy is lost due to tractive …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between travel reduction and
tractive performance and to illustrate how artificial neural networks (ANNs) could play an …

One of the basic requirements for controlled traffic farming (CTF) is the precise motion of all
agricultural equipment on permanent traffic lanes (PTL). Tractors of machine-tractor units are …

Fuel consumption model for predicting tractor fuel consumption per working area for
harrowing operation has been developed using dimensional analysis. Generalized reduced …

Tractive force models at different tillage speeds were developed using dimensional analysis,
describing the tractor tyre-soil interaction. In this research study, disc ploughing on an …

The efficiency with which a soil can transmit energy from a traction device on a tractor to the
drawbar has been called the tractive efficiency of soil. Experiments were conducted for disc …

Sensitivity measured parameters were used to evaluate a better tractive efficiency and
tractor forward speeds. The predictive models for tractive force were developed using …

Fuel consumption model for predicting tractor fuel consumption per working area for
harrowing operation has been developed using dimensional analysis. Generalized reduced …

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the traction potential of radial-ply tyres used
in agricultural tractors in the country. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first …

Over the years a semi-empiric model describing the interaction between the agricultural tire
wheel and terrain was developed and improved. The model was used to predict the traction …
