Abstract

ABSTRACT TRACTION equations for pneumatic log-skidder tires operating on cohesive-frictional soils were derived from laboratory tests. Driving wheel torque, motion resistance, and net traction are predicted as a function of dynamic load, travel reduction, cone index, tire size, and rated load. The equations can be substituted for the present traction calculations in log-skidder simulation programs..
