DEVICE FOR WHEELTRACTORS PASSABILITY ENHANCEMENT IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
The problem of the use of wheeled tractors in transport operations, including low traction capacities of the mover with soil, has been considered. The design of the device in the form of an inertial load, which is pivotally fixed to the frame of the wheeled machine and, while making fluctuations with variable acceleration, improves the traction capacities of the mover on soft soil, is suggested. The design allows the creation of fluctuations of a directed character and the reduction of fuel consumption per hour by 25 - 28 %, which reduces the energy consumption for transportation of agricultural cargoes.
