The final drives were selected for heavy-duty work cycles and a high tractive effort. |
They point out some important differences between motor graders and other earthmoving machines when it comes to converting engine power to tractive effort and work output. |
And because the tractor unit is self-contained in a single unit, greater tractive effort can be applied to help move the unit through wet soils. |
We run and double back with the dynamometer car to try out our tractive power. |
These tracks enable a machine to operate in conditions where low ground pressure and high tractive effort are needed while minimizing the damage to the operating surface. |
Operators of road slugs in the Northwest are usually lines with poor track and steep grades which require a lot of tractive effort, but not necessarily more horsepower. |
