CHECK OUT THE REASON WHY TRACTORS DO NOT HAVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Why does a tractor not have a suspension system?




First its required to get know what are things affected by a suspension system.
If a suspension is installed in a vehicle , then the vehicle will not have constant motion body. The body tend to oscillate in the direction of axis of the spring.
This oscillation can change ride height while operating . The condition may be while working or moving.Well tractors are supposed to maintain a constant depth in ploughing/digging. For this it requires the movement of the body to be restricted so that we do not disturb the main tractor functions.
If we have a suspended tractors which bounces too much over undulations in a field then we can't expect to have a constant ploughing depth which is a requirement in agriculture.
Suspensions also affects the off road stability.

As the speed of the tractor is less and the tyres big(which absorbs more shocks),the need of suspension is felt less.

  2. I totally agree but why front tyres have negative camber in it

    1. The total weight of the engine is given to the front axcles so it needs to have negative camber to have stable motion or else if its straight it would bend outward and hinders the motion.

    2. I think it's positive camber?

  3. Brilliant Clarification
    yup. could you please clear the doubt over negative camber
