This textbook offers a comprehensive review of tractor design
fundamentals. Discussing more than hundred problems and including
about six hundred international references, it offers a unique
resource to advanced undergraduate and graduate students,
researchers and also practical engineers, managers, test engineers,
consultants and even old-timer fans. Tractors are the most
important pieces of agricultural mechanization, hence a key factor
of feeding the world. In order to address the educational needs of
both less and more developed countries, the author included
fundamentals of simple but proved designs for tractors with
moderate technical levels, along with extensive information
concerning modern, premium tractors. The broad technical content
has been structured according to five technology levels, addressing
all components. Relevant ISO standards are considered in all
chapters. The book covers historical highlights, tractor project
management (including cost management), traction mechanics, tires
(including inflation control), belt ground drives, and ride
dynamics. Further topics are: chassis design, diesel engines (with
emission limits and installation instructions), all important types
of transmissions, topics in machine element design, and human
factors (health, safety, comfort). Moreover, the content covers
tractor-implement management systems, in particular ISOBUS
automation and hydraulic systems. Cumulative damage fundamentals
and tractor load spectra are described and implemented for
dimensioning and design verification. Fundamentals of energy
efficiency are discussed for single tractor components and
solutions to reduce the tractor CO2 footprint are suggested.
