Abstract
A simple technique based on a hall sensor was developed to measure wheel slip of agricultural tractors and an embedded storage system based on a micro-controller was incorporated for recording the slip data. The slip meter comprised five components viz power supply, hall sensor, magnets, micro-controller and storing unit. The system developed was simple in design and could be built on any make and model of the agricultural tractors. Slip meter was evaluated under laboratory as well as under field conditions. Field trials were conducted and were compared with the traditional method. The analysis of the measurements obtained from designed slip meter with the actual measurements obtained indicated that there was no significant difference between the readings.
