RESEARCH ON OPTIMIZING THE POWER BALANCE OF A PLOWING AGGREGATE COMPRISED OF A 180 HP TRACTOR AND A 5-MOLDBOARD PLOW
Plowing is recognized as an essential agricultural task that cannot yet easily be substituted with alternative soil processing methods due to its significance. However, it is also one of the most fuel-intensive operations. The main objective of this paper is to determine the optimal operational parameters (working speed and working width) of a plowing aggregate composed of a 180 HP tractor and a 5-moldboard plow, which ensures the full utilization of the tractor engine's power and the use of the aggregate at its maximum working capacity, respectively, achieving an optimal power balance.
