Electrohydraulic slip control for tractors with trailing implements / by Carolann L. Kelsey. by Kelsey, Carolann L. Subjects Electrohydraulic effect -- Industrial applications   Tractors -- Electric equipment   Tractors -- Hydraulic equipment   MSE Project. Description:  141 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Contents:  Preface -- The physical system -- The Easy5 schematic -- Simulation methodology -- Simulation results -- Discussion -- Conclusions. This project examines the feasibility of expanding electrohydraulic slip control to Magnum tractors operating with a trailing implement. Currently, slip control is only available on Magnum tractors operating with the three point hitch option. The Electrohydraulic Draft Control (EDC) system controls hitch operation and provides the operator with position, draft, and slip control for implements mounted on the hitch. Benefits of the system include: minimized load to the tractor; constant depth for pinpoint farming; maximized horsepower utilization; and reduce operator fatigue. Currently nine percent of Magnum tractors are sold without the hitch option. The number of these "Western Specials," named after the region most likely to purchase them, is predicted to increase in the next five years due to an increase in the number of large corporate farms. These farms will be operating with larger, heavier implements in order to reduce the number of passes required to complete work in a field. The three point hitch will not have the capacity to operate these implements. Consequently, none of the aforementioned benefits of the EDC system will be available to this customer class. An electrohydraulic slip control system for trailing implements will preserve these benefits. Slip control is the only control scheme from the EDC system that can be transferred to trailing implements since they lack the geometry required for draft sensing and have gauge wheel stops that provide depth control.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .K45 1997 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
