Basic Properties Of Tractors

Tractors are mainly divided into two categories in the market: full-trailer tractors and semi-trailer tractors
1. Semi-trailer tractors: The front half of the trailer is placed on the traction saddle on the rear section of the tractor, and the bridge behind the tractor bears part of the weight of the trailer.
2. Full-trailer tractors: The front end of the trailer is connected to the rear end of the tractor. The tractor only provides forward pulling force and tows the trailer, but does not bear the downward weight of the trailer. [4]
Functions of tractors
1. Anti-skid: Prevent the drive wheels from idling when the vehicle is driving on slippery roads such as snow, so that the vehicle can start and accelerate smoothly. Especially on snowy or muddy roads, the traction control system can ensure smooth acceleration performance and prevent the vehicle from lateral movement or tail swinging due to slipping of the drive wheels.
2. Flexibility: When towing a car, the car train has better maneuverability.
3. Reliable operation: Ensure that the connection between the towing car and the trailer is reliable, convenient, and quick to disconnect.
4. Stability: The traction force can be transmitted to the trailer smoothly, which has a certain buffering effect on the impact load.
