Abstract

The pneumatic pressure and wheel load are also conveniently controlled parameters that hold an important role in tillage operations to minimize the energy loss fall. This dimension has a great deal to do with soil tillage and fuel usage. This research centered on the tire pressure and the impact on the fuel usage of excess weight. The experimental unit consisted of a 4WD MF 470 Xtras and a reversible 3-bodies plough. The pressure of inflation in tubes ranging from 1.02, kg/ cm2 to 2.45 kg / cm2 and varied in mass between 200 and 500 kg based on the ballast mass of the tractor and inflation rate of the pneumatic tires are indicated. As the pneumatic tire difference ranges from 7% to 15% (normal soil slip), decreasing pneumatic inflation eliminates the slip of the driving wheel, thus increasing functionality efficiency. The rise in tractor weight (adding ballast weight) decreases drive slip, improves work efficiency and improves fuel usage and the compaction of land.
