Plot Comments The lower tire pressure reduced the stress at the 6 and 12 inch depths effectively. The weight of the vehicle means that the stress at the 20 inch depth is not as effectively reduced by lowering the tire pressure. Lowering the axle weight would reduce the stress at the 20 inch depth. The […]
Plot Comments The front a rear tires were somewhat misaligned. So each plot shows the peak of the tires individually. […]
Plot Comments This is a good example of a light vehicle only causing stress in the topsoil, however due to the weight and small tire size it is almost comparable to a pickup truck. […]
Plot Comments Although a large tire. Very high tire pressure causing high top soil stress. […]
Plot Comments Again, A wagon, similar to the gravity wagons. High pressure bias ply tires creating high soil stress. The tractor in this instance was not measured. […]
Plot Comments This is a good example of the baler being a lighter machine than the tractor, but having a higher stress in the topsoil due to the tire configuration. […]
Plot Comments Heavy axle weight and a narrow tire even with moderate tire pressure creates a relatively high soil stress. […]
Plot Comments From the soil perspective, the anhydrous tank and the pickup truck are very similar. […]
