Modernization of the powertrain of the tracked skidder

A way to increase the maneuverability of the chassis of a forest tracked vehicle through the use of on-board reverse gearboxes is proposed. As an example, one of the possible kinematic schemes of such a gearbox is considered. The principles of composing kinematics equations and determining the values of internal gear ratios characterizing the planetary gear mechanism are shown. It is proposed to use technologies tested in tank construction in the manufacture of such mechanisms.
