For self-propelled agricultural machines the required continuously variable traction drive is nowadays mainly based on hydraulic components. Published researches according to the load spectra of those drivelines do not cover the rapid machine development of the last years. Therefore, the complementary load spectra of the traction drive of a self-propelled forage harvester were measured, illustrated in three different aggregation levels and interpreted. The established data represent typical in-field conditions including different groundspeeds, modes of header guidance and driving, as well as on-road Operations.      «
