Results of simulation modeling of tractor regenerative linkage system operation

\nThe main factors that have the greatest impact on the change in the efficiency of timber road trains are determined. A promising design of a recuperative cone device with a ball support for the timber platform of a tractor is proposed. A mathematical model has been developed that describes the operation of a cone device with a ball support when moving a timber truck with a trailer loaded with timber. Graphs of the influence of the studied operational and design factors on the efficiency indicators of the recuperative cone device with a ball support are obtained. The greatest impact on the recuperated mass and the amplitude of the lateral displacement of a bundle of timber relative to the tractor is exerted by the maximum studied height of the unevenness of the simulated timber road.\n
