tractors and soil compaction

mainly we use the tractors to improve soil texture by distrubting the soil under suatable moiture content to make the balance between the soil and air and water and broke the hard banes to allow the roots to grow in the soil which will lead to increase the crop production . but when the tractor path on the soil . does it copact the soil ?
my answer is . the matter depend on the pressure on the soil . so the soil compaction not depend on the size and the weigh of the tractor mainly . but if you have 5 ton tractor with contact area ( between wheeels and the soils ) 50 cm2 the soil compaction will be more than 10 ton tractor with contact area 200 cm2 . so you can reduce the soil compaction if you but additional wheels or decrease the pressure in the tires

plough

The plough is a tool used in agriculture since ancient times to shake up the soil and prepare it for subsequent working either directly for sowing. The plow in a historical sense is a kind of evolution of pickaxe, once pulled by oxen or directly by the people and today, in developed countries with mechanical tractors. The ploughing serves to incorporate the remains of the previous crop in the soil, cut the presence of weeds and fragment the land in anticipation of next sowing (usually after exposure to adverse weather conditions and subject to further working with other gear). The plow includes three sets of components, all linked to a frame bearing said bure. Bodies of attack. They are arranged at the front of bure and serve to implement the tool to a tractor or animals with holding tow. In the case of ploughs brought coupling device is adapted the attack to three points in the tractor: consists of two pins side, which applies two hydraulic lift arms of the tractor, and a central brac...

shear bolt

shear bolt is kind of saftey in machines and agricultural machines . for example the baler fly wheel have a safty system through the shear bolt . when there is extra load happen instade of plunger broken or any other main part . the shear bolt broke before any damage happen the shear bolt must be made off specific material such and specefic dimention . and according to the loads it must be designed accuratly
