Application of the Electric Drive of the Power Unit of the Small Traction Tractor

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the tasks in the agricultural industry is the use of tractors in indoor facilities. Greenhouses and indoor farm premises impose increased toxicity requirements for tractor ICE. This paper considers a solution to this problem by using electric traction on small traction tractors. When developing such machines, an essential element is the justification of its parameters, which are usually laid based on the tasks of a tractor. An essential part of the issue is the choice of the layout of a power unit and the type of energy used by it. Based on the work tasks, we analyzed the application of electric drive with consideration of the traction features of the tractor. The paper provides a comparative assessment and general provisions on this issue.
