Defining the effect of sweep tillage tool cutting edge geometry on tillage forces using 3D discrete element modelling
The energy required for tillage processes accounts for a significant proportion of total energy used in crop production. In many tillage processes decreasing the draft and upward vertical forces is often desired for reduced fuel use and improved penetration, respectively. Recent studies have proved...
