    An actual cab suspension system was designed and constructed based on the study results about the effect of model cab suspension on vibration and noise reduction. The effect of actual suspension was investigated at the state of where the air borne sound and resonance existed, too. As the results the vibrations of the cab were repressed by the suspension. The sound pressure level in the cab was reduced but it showed a slight higher value than that of fixed cab at some engine speeds. The noise level was reduced only a little because of high frequency components of sound. But the big reduction of sound pressure level in low frequency domain under 200Hz indicated that the cab suspension system had an obvious effect on reducing the solid borne sound.

    In order to investigate the trafficability and the tractive performance of a wheel-type tractor, a deformation of soils beneath a wheel was analyzed by the finite element method, taking account of the friction between a wheel and soil masses. In this analysis, a wheel and soils were assumed to be a rigid and elastic bodies, respectively. Besides, displacments of soil surface caused by a sinkage and a slip of a wheel were input as a boundary condition in the calculation, letting a wheel be sunk and rolled gradually in soils.
    From that analysis, distributions of stress and strain in soils were clarified. Further, relationships between a slippage and a coefficient of net traction or a tractive efficiency were obtained, from which it was indicated that the tractive efficiency becomes maximum before a relative slip occurs over the entire contact surface of a wheel and soil masses.
    Analysis of soil deformation beneath an elastic wheel will be reported in the next paper.

    This running resistance measuring test using combine models was conducted for the purpose of improving the combine's trafficability on wet paddy field. These models were simplified to the tracks with 1/3 of two rows head-feeding type combine. The influence of track width, nominal track contact length and angle of approach on the running resistance for various soil conditions were observed.

    Overturning tests and pendulum tests of tractor fitted safety frame were carried, as a first step to propose design criteria of safety frame/cab.
    On pendulum tests, frames deflected parmanently larger than on overturning tests, because input energy of pendulum test includes safety margin. From test results some points were pick uped as below. 1) Pendulum test provided by OECD TEST CODE can be applied for medium power class domestic tractors, 2) to design safety frame, mounting method is slso important, 3) structural analysis of safety frame needs to apply plastic analysis and dynamic of material.

    The outline and the proper specification of main structures of the screw type threshing mechanism were presented in the previous report. Basic threshing characteristics of this mechanism such as threshing efficiency, percentage of damaged grains, grain passing rate through the concave and power requirement for threshing were compared with the tangential threshing mechanisms with single or double cylinder which are widely applied to the conventional soybean threshers, and the relative advantages of the screw type threshing mechanism were clarified. Further, the suitable threshing conditions such as cylinder speeds, moisture contents of soybean and grain feed rate were proposed.

    In the part I, the digital sampled-data adaptive control system which can control the traveling speed and the feed rate setting values by the logical operation was investigated. In the part II, it as reported that the good results were obtained from the field experiments. This control system involving many linear and non-linear elements, digital sampler, and 0-order hold in its its controlling loop, can be considered as a multi-inputs and multi-outputs control system with the logical operation. So the analysis of system must be done as a non-linear sampled-data control system. In this paper, the analysis of controling characteristics was done by use of a digital simulation.
    The results obtained from the simulation were satisfactorily agreed with the field experiment at ones. Because the initial setting values of feed rate and its dead zone width were set lower and narrower respectively, and the rate of traveling speed change was set at about 0.026m/s2, it was found from the results of simulation that each phenomena was put into a steady state quickly and the good controlling results were obtained.

    The movable type crop-bed system to be newly developed was placed in a greenhouse covering the area of 83m2, and composing of 33 growing boxes, 39m length wheel conveyer's circular line, the endless chain and the system controller. The growing boxes were connected eache other with the endless chain and were moved on the wheel conveyers line with a system controller. The weight of a growing box including soil and tomato under growing was about 160kg. The actual travelling speed of the growing box was lower than 8cm/s. The power required for driving this system was about 151W when being operated continuously at 8cm/s. The vibration on the growing box was less than 9.02cm/s2 when it is as operated at 8cm/s. On this level of the vibration, no excessive effects of the vibration on the crop was observed.

    In order to distribute particles uniformly, we made distributing pipe for trial with a rectangua section and 16 orifices for sending air, on the upper surface of the pipe.
    Experiments were carried out on the coefticient of loss of the head due to branch and confluence of air stream in the pipe. After transporting the particles into the pipe, we obtained the successful distributing particles.
    The results are summarized as follows:
    (1) When an air sending orifice was situated 10mm apart from counterside of the distributing hole, the maximum amount of distributed particles was attained.
    (2) In the case of branch and confluence of air were coincide, the amount of branched air was slways slightly more than that of confluencing air. The coefficient of branch-confluence was changed according to the ratio of air flow, varying from 0.08 to 1.0.
    (3) By sending the air from air sending orifices, pressure head increased and velocity head decreased. Whereas, head differences between pipe ends lessened as compared with the case of pipeduster.
    (4) Uniform distribution of particles can be attained by controlling the amount of sending air in correspondance with the position of the distributing pipe.

    Authers analyzed random load of a disk mower and a tedder by using the stress and frequency analyzer.
    As the results, the torque and the frequency of the disk mower and the tedder were shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The relationship between the torque and the frequency was shown by a exponential equation (1). From this equation, the mean torque and the maximum torque of the working disk mower and the tedder are provided in Figs. 6 and 7.
    The value of the mean torque is almost the same as those of other reserchers. But the maximum torque is not the same. It depends on the frequency. This results show the necessity to search the relationship between the stress and the frequency for a random load.

    The sensing devices by which the intelligent farm robot acquires the informations on the operating enviroments and objects correspond fundamentally to the five senses of human being. This research is concerned with the tactile sense, that is, the method of measuring on real time the dynamic mechanical properties of the farm products without giving the destruction or damage to them are discussed. The final goal of this research is to develop the artificial tactile sense which can evaluate the quality and maturity of the farm products and realize the stable grasp of them.
    In this paper, the measuring principle and device controlled by the digital computer are discussed and the results of some fundamental experiments are presented. The system function (frequency response function) of the viscoelastic cubic sample grasped between the exciter and sensor can be estimated in real time (about 16s) from the input and output signals observed during excitation by the stationary random force.
