Analysis of agricultural wheel system treads

Abstract

Finding the right areas of research to improve the efficiency of agricultural units by optimizing wheel pairs, tread pattern and a certain level of pressure in the tires of transport units. Previous experience has shown that heavy agricultural machinery and tractors often have a negative effect on the fields and lead to damaging effects on the soil. Many different wheel systems are used in agricultural machinery. For each case, for example, for different soils, roads, different weather conditions, different units, different parameters for wheel systems must be used. Such parameters as: different pressure levels in the air chambers of the wheels, different drawings on the wheel tread, change the height of the tread pattern to improve the level of patency. The tread pattern plays one of the most important roles in the daily operation of agricultural machinery. It affects soil patency after precipitation, self-cleaning and lateral stability. For heavy agricultural machinery, it is advisable to use tread patterns such as: "herringbone", "crutch" and multi-block tread. It has been found that counteracting soil compaction, as well as where it is extremely undesirable to damage it, requires a flat surface and impermissible defects using low pressure tires. It is established that the influence of the geometrical parameters of the wheel systems and their efficiency remains insufficiently investigated. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a set of measures aimed at preserving soil fertility. Thus, it is necessary to pay attention to the economic indicators of the use of wheel pairs. This problem is still relevant for Ukrainian agriculture.
