Interaction of the wheel propulsion system with the soil on the slope, taking into account the effect of skidding

Wheeled forest vehicles have their advantages and disadvantages compared to tracked vehicles.The main advantages are usually attributed to lower weight and higher operating speeds.The main disadvantages of wheeled forest vehicles often include worse cross-country ability, which is associated, specifically with increased skidding compared with tracked vehicles.The article shows that to reduce the negative impact of wheel propulsion system to ensure its effective traction properties when operating in difficult geotechnical conditions on sloping, steep and very steep slopes, taking into account the moisture category and the strength of their constituent soils, it is
