Abstract

This study aims to investigate the operation of a tractor as part of the tillage unit on the basis of analysis of its interaction with the supporting surface and the correlation between the mass of the tractor and tool. The classic approach to determining the efficiency factor does not take into account the extensive system of power take-off shafts and the extent of their use in combined tillage units. To solve the related problem, a mathematical apparatus was built in the study, which makes it possible to determine the rational ratio between the traction force of a tractor and the mass of the tillage unit.

Underlying the methodological basis of the work is the generalization and analysis of the study of traction indicators of the tractor as part of the tillage unit. Empirical models of unit operation were constructed by employing the basic principles of the system approach and analysis of technical systems. When improving the methodology of research using the method of partial accelerations and our devised procedures, it was possible to significantly reduce the time without compromising the quality of results. The maximum traction efficiency for John Deere 8R series tractors as part of the tillage unit was determined, ηTmax=0.719, as well as the conditions for its provision. The traction efficiency for tractors with wheel formula 4K2, mass Gim=6–10 t, with power consumption from 60 % to 80 % was determined; it is 0.58–0.64. The results of the study make it possible to obtain a new solution to the scientific problem of ensuring the maximum traction efficiency of the tractor as part of the tillage unit, based on the rational ratio between the traction force of the tractor and the weight of the machine-tractor unit. The proposed system approach could be used to justify the layout of units and recommendations regarding their modes of operation in the case of instability of operating mass and traction force
