New Ways to Prepare Corn Ground

You\u27ve probably heard of several new tillage methods for corn being proposed. Some of these methods include ridge planting, mulch tillage, listing, minimum tillage and tractor track planting. Question: What are they and do they fit in on your farm? If so, how and where? We\u27ve studied some of these methods extensively and have had experience with all of them. Some look more promising than others, though each may have a place. Our research is continuing. While we haven\u27t reached final conclusions on all phases, this article reports what we\u27ve found so far

Simulated Tractor Chassis Suspension System

The development of a chassis suspension system for an agricultural tractor has been described to improve the operator ride comfort. Computer simulation tech-niques were used to formulate the tractor models and to compute the natural frequencies and frequency response of the models, as well as the RMS acceleration response, to evaluate the effect of the suspension system and cab position on operator ride comfort

International home economics
