    　View Summary

    Overturning agricultural vehicles accounts for the largest proportion of fatal accidents during agricultural work. It is important to suppress the pitching angle when tractors travel on sloping and uneven terrain. In this study, the design of a control system using modern control theory was investigated, and the effects of controlling the pitching angle and maintaining the travelling speed were discussed when the attitude control technology using the drive torque as input. As a result, the peak pitching vibration could be suppressed by decelerating during hill climbing and accelerating during descent under the test conditions. In addition, the possibility of avoiding excessive deceleration to avoid overturning during hill climbing was demonstrated.

  • Investigation of the Performance of the Small Disc Cultivator in Sugarcane Cultivation

    Yuya AOYAGI1, Yoshiaki SHINZATO, Daiki KAYANO, Takeshi SHIKANAI1

    JOURNAL OF KYUSHU SOCIETY OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY AND FOOD ENGINEERS ( KYUSHU SOCIETY OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY AND FOOD ENGINEERS )  74   1 - 6   2024.08 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

    Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

    　View Summary

    The introduction of agricultural machinery and farming methods that save working time and fuel costs is important from the perspective of improving the time and economic efficiency of production corporations. The performance of disc and traction type work equipment such as disc cultivators in the introduction of mechanised systems for sugarcane cultivation is not yet understood. In this study, the performance of disc culchivators was investigated in sugarcane cultivation ploughing, and compared with the rotary machines in main conventional mechanised systems, and the potential use of disc culchivators in sugarcane cultivation was discussed. The results suggested the possibility of laboursaving and low-cost use of disc culchivators while achieving the same level of work efficiency.
