Abstract
This paper presents results of testing two different traction systems and analysis of their influence on tractor's efficiency in soil tillage. Results of the field testing concerning energy requirements and technical-economical characteristics in two different tillage systems it can be concluded that tractor with rubber belts was significantly efficient in comparison to tractor with dual tires. The tractor with rubber belts achieved 27.05 % higher rate of work and 11.67% higher energy efficiency. The fuel consumption of the tractor with the rubber belts traction system was 15.17% lower compared to the tractor with tractor with dual tires.
