New tractor model boosts rice production on wet Bangkok clay soil!
The researchers studied how well a small tractor performs on wet clay soil in Bangkok. They tested different models to see which one worked best for this specific condition. They found that the tractor had better traction on grassy soil compared to bare soil. The tractor was most efficient when using the Gholkar method for drawbar pull and the GeeClough method for wheel thrust. Overall, the tractor performed better on grassy soil than on bare soil.
