Tractor mfwd braking deceleration research between different wheel drive

Abstract

The article presents and analyses the reasons of the braking parameter in 4×4 tractor. It is noted that the wheeled tractors are working in transport, cargo, driving with implements and without them in the fields, etc. for most of the time. The contact area with the road surface during braking decreases when increasing the driving speed and the overall dynamic stiffness of the tire changing increases the rolling resistance. However, it is worth mentioning that the tire contact with the road surface area is also dependent on the tire air pressure and improperly selected or uneven tire air pressure to increase the vehicle rolling resistance, increasing the frontwheel lead, which reduces the braking efficiency. The change of the front-wheel lead increases kinematic discrepancy between the drive wheels. These factors have negative effect for the tractor performance parameters, the transmission is loaded heavily, the power losses are increased, tires wear faster, the fuel consumption is increased. This article shows and analyses tractor deceleration between different wheel drive (4×2 and 4×4) with different driving speed
