The ability to operate at high forward speeds is vital if tractor drawn implements such as inter-row weeders and band sprayers are to be economically competitive. High-speed operation has to be accompanied with accurate positioning of the implement w

Accurate lateral positioning of implements operated by tractors is important in field operations such as inter-row weeding and band spraying. However, this can be difficult to achieve in practice and consequently there is much interest in automating

An assessment was made of the ability of different mechanical weeding mechanisms to control weeds at different growth stages in the uncropped area between crop rows and at different forward speeds. Performance of the mechanisms was assessed in a repl

The ability to model the ride vibration of unsuspended vehicles is at present seriously limited by lack of knowledge about the lateral and longitudinal dynamic characteristics of rolling tyres and the interaction of these characteristics with the gro

Tractor front linkages which have lateral freedom of movement are often unstable when used with ground engaging implements. If the linkage is made rigid steering becomes difficult. Front linkage-implement combinations are shown to be stable only if t

Tractor front linkages pose special problems for soil engaging implements. This paper examines the effect of linkage geometry on stability in the longitudinal-vertical plane of implements supported by a depth wheel. Two unstable zones for the locatio

The paper presents a theory for the dynamic behaviour of mouldboard ploughs in the penetration mode. In both the real and virtual hitch point cases, the equation is shown to be first order and thus to yield an exponential solution. The “time consta

It has long been known that when long implements such as mouldboard ploughs are mounted on a tractor three-point linkage an excessive variation in working depth can occur when operating over an undulating ground profile. The principal cause of such v

The design of a hydromechanical implement control system using pure draught force sensing and modified linkage geometry is described. Draught force sensing is accomplished by summing algebraically the forces in the top and bottom mountings of the hit

Tractor draught control systems may be regarded as automatic regulators employing negative feedback. The problem of draught control is defined in control theory terms, in which it is shown that the implement itself forms an element in the loop. The p
