Goal

1. Mastering the theoretical foundations of propulsion machines - tractors and self-propelled agricultural machines - combines; 2. Concepts and constructions of agricultural tractors, motor cultivators and self-propelled chassis; 3. Transmission and connection systems for working machines and aggregates; 4. Concepts of simultaneous power transmission via drive wheels and PTO shafts, energy balance; 5. Theory of work, conception and construction of the combine, calculations of the movement of the moving part and technological devices of the combine.

Outcome

1. Basic knowledge in the field of theory of work, conception and construction of driving machines - tractors, cultivators and self-propelled chassis and universal self-propelled combines; 2. Analysis of mechanical, hydrostatic and combined transmissions of agricultural tractors, self-propelled chassis and universal self-propelled combines; 3. Application of computers in calculations of plants and technological devices; 4. Connecting basic engineering knowledge and achieving a synergistic effect; 5. Acquisition of practical skills and application in practice. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: • Manage the procurement of tractors with adequate characteristics according to the available agricultural machinery that the tractor aggregates, • Organize and conduct operation and maintenance of tractors and self-propelled agricultural machines, • Performs and applies solutions of various concepts of tractors and self-propelled chassis, • Make plans for testing tractors, • Determine, formulate and control the ergonomic conditions of the operator.
