Energy Efficiency Classification of Agricultural Tractors in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This study was conducted to classify the energy efficiency of 131 tractor models tested during from 2006 to 2010in Korea. Methods: Four sub-indexes were developed using the fuel consumptions at 60% and 90% of rated speed with partial loads and at pull speeds of 3.0 km/h and 7.5 km/h with maximum drawbar pull. Weighting factors of the sub-indexes were also considered to reflect the characteristics of tractor’s actual working hours in Korea. Four sub-indexes were integrated into a classification index. Using the developed classification index, a five-classification system was made on the basis of normal distribution of tractors over the classification range. Percentage of 1st grade interval was expected to be close to 15%, 2nd grade 20%, 3rd grade 30%, 4th grade 20%, 5th grade 15%. Results: Number of 1st grade was 21, 2nd grade 23,3rd grade 39, 4th grade 33, 5th grade 15 among 131 models. Conclusions: Classification index was developed by integrating four sub-indexes. By the classification method using developed index, distribution of classified tractors was acceptable for practical application.
