MODEL OF HYDRAULIC SUSPENSION MECHANISM FOR AGRICULTURAL TRA
Abstract
An agricultural tractor represents the basic machine that can perform most of the mechanized works in farmlands using auxiliary equipment that may be attached. Farmland mechanized works at present are carried out with a low fuel consumption and limited operating time because of the development level reached currently by agricultural machinery. Both the agricultural tractors as well as the auxiliary equipments have undergone a continuous development over time, aimed mainly on engine power increase in order to enable entrainment of greater equipments with result in land works time decrease. This paper performs a functional description for the hydraulic suspension mechanism that can be part of agricultural tractors by means of which coupling of auxiliary equipments it is possible. The suspension mechanism it is positioned generally at the rear side, but also at the front side of the tractor. The chosen model for the rear suspension mechanism is widely used on agricultural tractors being the three-point articulated model.
