Agricultural engineering involves a wide range of machines, equipment and implements. This ranges from tillage machines, tractors, tedders and balers to powerful harvesting equipment such as forage harvesters or combine harvesters.
Even if the machines are very different, the operating conditions are always harsh. In summer, dust and sand place high demands on the bearing seals, whereas during the spring and fall, moisture is a real challenge for farmers.
Heavy soils test the mechanical strength of all machine parts to the limit. Constant vibrations and high shocks are loads that occur throughout the entire year. This is why the bearing supports in tillage machines have to be particularly robust.

Here we’ll make an introduction about tractor. Although there are many types of agricultural tractors with different structures, they are composed of three parts: engine, chassis and electrical equipment.

Following are typical bearing arrangements in agricultural tractors:
