This study investigated the effect of high axle loads carried on self propelled wheels and tracks on soil bulk density, soil deformation, rut depth, and penetrometer resistance under controlled laboratory conditions. ...
One option for ground drive systems with large harvesting equipment is to use rubber-belted tracks; however, little is known about the performance of these systems relative to appropriately sized pneumatic tyres. The effect ...
This paper reports on a study of the effect of the passage of multi-axle harvesting machines on the soil physical properties. In particular, it investigates the effect of the rear tyre of a combine harvester on the amount ...
The importance of undercarriage design with respect to its effect on soil density changes
grows with the size of harvest machinery. Therefore this study elucidates the mechanics of
soil displacement caused by different ...
