Title: Tractive Performance of 18.4R46 and 18.4R42 Radial Tractor Tires
Abstract: Tractive performance of 18.4R42 and 18.4R46 tractor tires mounted on two-wheel drive (2WD) and mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) agricultural tractors was evaluated on three different soil surfaces. Field data were collected and predictive equations were developed for gross traction ratio, dynamic traction ratio, and tractive efficiency for the 2WD. Predictive equations for the dynamic traction ratio were developed for the MFWD. Due to firm soil conditions and excessive inflation pressures, no apparent traction gain from the 18.4R46 tire was obvious.
