Abstract :Traction experimental setups have been used extensively for tractive performance and soil compaction experiments. Various traction test setups were designed and developed for performing researches on traction mechanic of tires used in agricultural tractors. Those test setups can control peripheral tire speed, travel reduction and dynamic axle load. By the development of these experimental setups, more sensitive and accurate data acquisition opportunity was provided by means of advanced measurement systems beside the gained ability of performing experiments in different grounds. These setups utilize computer systems which feeds back in order to control forward speed, inflation pressure, dynamic axle load, travel reduction and net traction. In this study, designed and implemented experimental setups dedicated to traction performance experiments of drive tires used for agricultural tractors are described and reported.
