Development and performance studies of electronic wheel slip control device for two wheel drive agricultural tractor


Author(s): Achyutananda Das, MK Ghosal and DK Das

Abstract: An electronic slip control and measuring device for two-wheel drive (2WD) agricultural tractors was developed for online measurement of wheel slip and to study its performance under varying field conditions. The field trials were conducted in the Central Farm of OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India during 2015-16. The measuring efficiency and maximum error of the developed slip meter were found above 99% and 0 02% respectively. As compared to the existing draft control system (DCS), the developed slip control system showed significant improvement in fuel economy i.e. in the range of 25-32% in ploughing, 15 - 32% in harrowing and 6 - 25% in tilling and the improvement in field capacity were also in the range of 15 - 20% in ploughing, 9 - 37% in harrowing and 10 - 24% in tilling as compared to DCS.
