Activity 2 Tractor Linkages

The document outlines an activity focused on familiarizing students with tractor linkages, including an introduction, materials and equipment needed, and a detailed procedure for measuring various tractor specifications. It includes tables for recording data on tractor parts and implements, as well as questions to assess understanding of field capacity and power calculations. The conclusion aims to evaluate whether the tractor's power meets the standard requirements for the implements used.

Activity no 2.
Familiarization of Tractor Linkages

I. Introduction: ( Background of tractor and its linkges etc.)

II. Materials and Equipment ( specify type of tractor types, implements, materials used and
equipment if there is) with definition

III. Procedure:
1. Identify a type of tractor and its implements. Record the tractor power and its
specification.
2. Measure the diameter of PTO using vernier caliper and records the number of spline.
3. Measure the three linkages hole diameter including the implements connection
4. Measure the width of cut of a given implement. Measure it individually and total the
width of cut.

Table 1. Tractor linkages sizing

Lower Right link N/A

Table 2. Implements (specify type)


Type of implements Width of cut ( per disc) Total width of cut
Sample ( disc plow)
Sampe ( moldboard plow)

IV. Documentation: (pictures with tag)

V. Question to be answered:
a) What is the effective field capacity of 2 moldboard plows having 25 cm width each
plowing at a speed of 7km/hr for a field efficiency of 80% is? (ha/hr)
b) The field capacity of the rotary tiller was measured at 0.23 ha/hr. If the operating
width and speed of the machines are 1.5 m and 2 kph, respectively, the field efficiency
of the tiller is?
c) A single-bottom moldboard plows on a clay loam soil (8 psi draft) having an effective
width of cut of 0.3 m and a depth of cut of 15 cm. What is the force exerted by a plow?
(kg)
d) What is the drawbar horsepower of the plow in item above if the plowing speed is 5
kph?
e) A 3-bottom plow is plowing at a speed of 8 kph. The effective width per plow bottom
is 25 cm. If the plowing efficiency is 80%, what is the theoretical field capacity?(ha/hr)

VI. Conclusion: ( is the power of tractor appropriate to the standard power of implemet?
