More equipment and use Description

In order for the cross-field work necessary to achieve often have four-wheel drive tractors and at least two, often also four very large wheels with grobstolligen profile. The vehicle's steering is done with (electro) hydraulic support. Today's tractors are available for multiple uses in all its forms, as very small, especially in the mountains in the forestry or Serviced Alpine Pasture can be used for very small or large wine for farming in lowland areas. For optimal speed for the work to achieve, modern tractors often on a vielstufiges Last gearbox or a CVT. As additional equipment commonly used in tractors is a front loader, sometimes a rear loader appropriate. Larger tractors now mostly on a cabin with air conditioning and other vehicles to have technical features such as Einzelradbremse and differential locks. Special provide the Unimog, the device makers and the so-called Muli, which usually with a slightly longer wheelbase than other tractors are constructed. The device makers has forward before or on the sub-floor engine on a further production capacity for additional work machines (alternatively, a loading platform), while the Unimog and the Muli behind the driver's cabin, a transport area and are very geländegängig. The Muli, especially in western Austria, Switzerland and South Tyrol. Even the so-called tug-Trac (MB-Trac, Deutz INTRAC, JCB Fastrac), where the work further forward of the driver or the middle between the axles positioned, diverge from the conventional standard construction. Another small tractors simplified form is the hand tractors. The trend towards ever greater and heavier machines (higher tensile force), as a result of a higher soil compaction and thus lower revenues to the ground. This can with the raising ballonartigen low-pressure tires (Terra tyres), the vehicle weight and better distribute the low tire pressure also cause less ground pressure, or the use of twin tyres (assembly of a second, the actual full gear wheel of the tractor) tackled.

Gallic Due to the increasing speeds of tractors (up to 80 km / h for JCB Fastrac) and the low attenuation of large tractor tire has a large part of today's tractors a suspension of at least the front axle. The front axle is usually by a hydraulic or pneumatic suspension system. Tractors with full suspension have been only slightly, although they advantages for driving comfort, driving safety and the protection of soil with it. The most frequent accidents involving tractors happen in mountainous areas from overturning. In Austria, they must therefore since 1960, in Germany since the early 1970s, with a roll bar equipped. In the course of increasingly überrollsichere booths were set up.
