The aim of this study was to develop a model that can accurately simulate the performance of a 2WD tractor with a suspended working implement (cultivator) on various types of soil. The following performance indicators were assessed with the use of the developed model: tractor's overall efficiency, tractive efficiency, specific fuel consumption and soil productivity. The proposed model supports the determination of performance indicators accounting for the overall loss of energy during machine operation. Overall efficiency is such an indicator. The value of this parameter varies significantly subject to changes in tractive force from 0 to 7 kN for the analyzed values of the fuel injector control signal and the total transmission ratio in the third (3L), fourth (4L) and fifth (1H) gear. For this reason, the above indicator may be used to determine the optimal parameters of tractor performance. The above variability was not reported in respect of the coefficient of tractive efficiency.
Research highlights
► A simulation model of tractor performance.
► Effectiveness of tractor performance.
