Abstract

Reduction of energy requirement was achieved by automatic control of tractor-implement system. For this purpose algorism and program to control the rotational velocity of disk blade were developed and field tests were conducted to perform the most effective use of tractor fuel with more soil pulverization. Simulation was also made to clarify general characteristics of the control system. Reduction of tractor fuel by 2.5-10% was achieved in the field teste.
