Vliv podvozku na tahové vlastnosti traktorů

The aim of this PhD thesis was to analysis laboratory and field measurements tractors with different chassis designs. For the measurements were used John Deere tractors with name 8320R if a wheel and if 8320RT crawler tractor, possessing the same engine power. Before the field measurements were conducted laboratory tests of tractors, which resulted was the compilation of the full speed characteristics. The field measurements were focused on identifying characteristics of tensile test tractors. For wheeled tractor were also measured differences tensile characteristics when changing inflation pressure. Subsequent comprehensive part of a field measurement looked at the analysis of data obtained from measurements of performance and energy parameters of tractor kits depending on the operating mode of the engine. From the experimental measurements show that the tractor equipped with a belt chassis design has a higher tensile strength and also has a lower specific consumption and slippage than wheeled tractor. When comparing the measured data with different wheeled tractor tire inflation pressure, we find that reducing inflation pressure has a positive effect on the change of the tensile characteristics. In the practical part of the measurements we have identified that tracked tractor achieves higher performance and lower energy intensity than the wheeled tractor. It was also shown that by adjusting the engine speed into so called economic areas can improve performance while reducing fuel consumption tractor sets
