Analytical and Modelling Duction of Requirements on Tractor Concepts for Cultivation and Application Purposes

Based on changing conditions for tractor utilization the requirements on tractor concepts for cultivation and application purposes are deducted. From the data of a survey on utilization the special use and implement parameters were ascertained. They were the basis for putting together a specification list. In a model exarnination alternative tractor concepts were defined and assessed, using a multi attribute utility technique, on the fullfiment of requirements. It showed that specialized light load carriers have significant advantages compared to standard and system tractors.     «
