“…Rolling resistance and rut depth data are presented in Table 4 and Figure 1a,b, respectively. A strong relationship between tyre inflation pressure and rut depth was observed with both tractors (p-values < 0.001), consistent with earlier studies (e.g., [17,18,67,68]). Rut depths were the shallowest in the FWA_S and 4WD_S tractor-tyre combinations, respectively (Table 4).…”

“…The overall tractive performance is also influenced by the efficiency of the ground drive, which is primarily determined by tyre performance [14]. Agricultural tyres are deformable and so are soils used for cropping, including soils that have been under long-term (e.g., >10 years) no-tillage [15][16][17][18]. The vertical force exerted by a loaded tyre is met by the reaction of the ground [19].…”

Selecting the appropriate tyre configuration and settings for heavy farm vehicles is important to ensure that soil compaction and power loss in rolling resistance are minimised and traction is optimised. This study investigated the effect of front-wheel assist (FWA, ≈75 kN) and four-wheel drive (4 WD, ≈100 kN) tractors fitted with different tyre configurations (single, dual), tyre sizes and inflation pressures on soil strength (a proxy for soil compaction), and rolling resistance. Single-pass tests were performed on a Typic Argiudoll (≈23% clay, bulk density: 1305 kg m−3) managed under permanent no-tillage. Results showed that average power losses in rolling resistance were 7.5 kN and 5 kN for the 4 WD and FWA tractors, respectively. The average rut depth increased by approximately 1.4 times after a pass of the 4 WD compared with the FWA tractor. The soil cone index (0–600 mm depth) increased from 2023 kPa (before traffic) to 2188 and 2435 kPa after single passes of the FWA and 4WD tractors, respectively (p < 0.05). At the centreline of the tyre rut, dual tyres reduced the soil cone index a little compared with single tyres, but they significantly increased the volume of soil over which soil strength, and therefore soil compaction, was increased. For both tractors (regardless of tyre configuration or settings), soil strength increased to the full measured depth (600 mm), but relative changes before vs. after traffic became progressively smaller with increased soil depth. The power loss in rolling resistance was consistently greater with the heavier tractor, and rut depth was directly related to tyre inflation pressure.

“…Greatest changes in compaction were observed in depth range 0-30 cm -similar results were obtained by Arvidsson and Keller (2007) and Botta et al (2002) -these authors shows that the highest intensity of compaction concerns the topsoil. Moreover, the values of compaction a er the passages of rear wheels (with narrower tires) were lower than a er the front wheel passage -similar results were showed in other papers (Sharma and Pandey, 1996;Antille et al, 2008;Svoboda and Červinka, 2013) whose authors demonstrated that the wide tires may cause lower soil stresses and compaction compared to the narrow tires.…”

“…Generally, it can observed that the increase in vertical load caused higher soil compaction in ruts (Raper et al, 1994;Botta et al, 2002;Arvidsson and Keller, 2007;Zink et al, 2011). Another factor, which can determinate the soil compaction is the tire size; many researchers showed that the wide tires have greater contact surface -the result of use these tires will be lower intensity of soil compaction (Arvidsson and Ristic, 1996;Sharma and Pandey, 1996;Antille et al, 2008).…”

This paper concerns the results of changes in soil compaction after the passages of combine harvester. The research was done on the maize-stubble; the soil was the mold formed in the sand. The measured parameter was a penetration of resistance in range of depth 0–60 cm. The measurements were done in the ruts after the passages the front and rear wheel of combine harvester. During the experiment two levels of vertical load of wheels were applied – these levels were dependent on filling of grain tank of harvester. Moreover, the influence of the lateral tilt of harvester on the soil compaction was analyzed (the harvester was equipped with the leveling system which allowed to obtain the tilt). The obtained results shows that the increase in vertical load caused greater compaction in ruts. Furthermore, it was found that the passage of tilted harvester caused lower compaction than the harvester without tilt.
