IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF TRACTORS AND MOBILE SYSTEMS WITH THE AIM OF INCREASING COMPETITIVENESS AND PRESERVING SOIL AND ENVIRONMENT

The quality of tractors, mobile systems and soil conservation are the subject of the research. They will be examined from several aspects. The first one is the improvement of the level of competitiveness on domestic and foreign market, the second one is driver's safety improvements and the last one is the use of renewable energy sources. The results of the researches should present the development of new quality light tractors and self-propelled transporter which are competitive, ecologically and power efficient. The design of roll bars and cabin will contribute to the improvement of ergonomic and competitiveness on the market. The result of the research on renewable source energy application is a preliminary solution and design of the facility for the production of biodiesel of different capacities. The research results on the self-propelled transporter comprise concept, preliminary design and prototype construction. The research conducted with the aim of soil conservation will contribute to the development of new and improved technical solution for domestic industry, which will further lead to the reduction of costs of safe food production, conservation and improvement of soil properties and preservation of ecological environment. Improvement of mechanization for harvest residues and livestock manure manipulation will contribute to soil conservation. The new ways of application and technical solutions for air assisted sprayer will be defined in order to reduce soil drifts.
