Analysis of Changes in Soil Compaction in The Zone Next to Tracks of Agricultural Tractor Passages

J. Buliński, Z. Majewski

Abstract

Results of investigations on the effect of multiple passages of tractors of various powers(small-medium-large) on soil compaction within the track and the side zone are presented. Changesin specific pressures as a result of variable support area of considered tractor wheels and their sidecompactingaction are also presented. There was found statistical significance of the effect of wheelpressures, depth of soil layer and its distance from the track on soil compaction. The investigationswere carried out on clayish sand with the use of 3 tractors. Basing on the obtained results a set ofempirical equations was developed.
