(Only field test)
Ensaio Oficial nº 318 – Trator Porsche, 1948
Historical about machines test
Test at the pulley shaft
Drawbar test
Schenck 400 kW
PTO OR ENGINE TEST (actually)
Loading car: - mass 11,000 kg- hydraulic brake Hennan & Froud DPX3- 4 wheel drive + gearbox, driving the Heenan&Froude brake- radiator and fan, to cool water (2 x 500 l tanks on the roof)
TRACTOR TEST (actually)
Concrete track (surface with problems):- length 1000 m, width 5 m (10 m in the bends)- coefficient of friction 0,9
Concret track
Loading car: optical sensors (100 signals/rev) to measure
driving wheels revolutions
Loading car: 5th wheel
Hydraulic lift test:
- load cell 5 Mg- analogic manometre 200 bar
Note: This system will be change to add the measurement of hydraulic power!
