Plant oils, made of rape, sunflower, flax and other plants, can successfully change the mineral oils in agricultural and forestry machines. Special perspectives have the utilization of the plant oils in tractor hydraulic systems. This is conditioned by the fact, that in the case of the rupture of the hydraulic pipelines or during lerakage the oil pumps can instantle empty the hydraulic system, the volume of which is dozens of liters. It results not only in substantial material losses, but also pollutes the soil and the ground waters with oil-products. During overloads their temperature can rise to 100°C and more.The special requirements are raised to the stability of its characteristics: viscosity, oxidization, the content of other impurities, resins etc. Having all this in mind, we've done a research of possibilities to use the rape and flax oil in the tractor MTZ-82 hydraulic systems.
