Causes and Prevention of Tire Wear Acceleration of Tractors
Tractor tires are a key part of a tractors machinery and play an important role in the tractive performance of the tractor. The tire tread wear of the tractor is closely related to the tractors fuel consumption, tyre fatigue performance and driving safety. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the tractor, it is necessary to understand the cause of accelerated tire wear and take corresponding measures to prevent it.
1. Effect of Overload On Tire Wear
When the tractor carries a heavy object, the total weight of the tractor increases. If the tire load is not up to standard or the tire is not properly inflated, the tire contact pressure will increase, the friction coefficient will decrease, and the wear rate of the tire will increase.
2. Inappropriate Tire Pressure
Tractor tires should be inflated according to the standard. If the inflation pressure is not correct, the abnormal abrasion between the road surface and the tire will increase, which will accelerate the tire wear.
3. Unevenly Distributed Loads
If the weight of the tractor is unevenly distributed, it will cause the tire on one side to carry more weight, compared with the load of the tire on the other side, the wear on one side of the tire will be greater than that on the other side, and the accelerated tire wear will be led.
4. Poor Grip Between Tire and Ground
If the tire contacts the road surface unevenly, or the tire is slippery due to insufficient air pressure, it will lead to the phenomenon of poor tire grip and increased tire wear.
5. Unsuitable Steering Habits
If the tractor is running at a high speed, and the steering method is relatively abrupt, it will generate a lateral force when turning, this lateral force will cause a certain amount of wear on the tire, thus leading to accelerated tire wear.
To prevent tire wear, it is necessary to take the following preventive measures.
1. Choose tires with greater load capacity. When selecting the tractor tire, we should choose the tire with greater load capacity according to the practical situation, so that the tire will not be overloaded and the tire wear will be reduced.
2. Regularly check the tire pressure. It is necessary to regularly check the tire pressure, and adjust them to the standard values according to the standard values so as to prevent excessive wear due to excessive tire pressure.
3. Load and transport items evenly. When loading items, an appropriate weight should be added in the middle of the two axles to ensure that the total weight is evenly distributed.
4. Maintain good tire grip. Care should be taken to ensure that the tires contact with the road even, and it is necessary to check and adjust the tire pressure in time.
5. Improve the driving habits. It is necessary to consciously reduce the speed of the tractor when turning and do not take the turn in an abrupt manner, so as to reduce the wear caused by the lateral force on the tank tire.
To sum up, tire wear is accelerated for many reasons, however, as long as these preventative measures are taken, it could be controlled. By doing so, it could increase the service life of the tractor tires and enhance the overall performance of the tractor.
