Tractive Performances of Wheel-Type Tractor (V)

Researches on the Soil Deformation by the Tractor Wheel and Sinkage of the Wheel Lug in the Soil

Abstract

As the fundamental researches to evaluate the performances of the running elements of the tractor, especially, the rigid steel wheel constructed by the plate lugs which has been usually used on paddy soft field, the deformation, compressibility of the soil, sinkage of any point of lug surface, etc. were studied prior to get the reaction forces of soil to the lug plate.
