SYSTEM FOR AXLE LOAD DETERMINATION FOR AN AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR
DRIVE
October 12, 2016
System (10) for axle load determination for an agricultural tractor (20), with an axle and/or wheel spring device (26) arranged on a front axle (14) of the agricultural tractor (20), which comprises a hydraulic spring strut (28) with a hydraulic cylinder (30) and a hydraulic piston (36) dividing the hydraulic cylinder (30) into an annular chamber (32) and a piston chamber (34), wherein a first pressure sensor (38) is provided for detecting a first working pressure present in the annular chamber (32) and a second pressure sensor (40) is provided for detecting a second working pressure present in the piston chamber (34). In this regard, a control device (42) calculates, on the basis of a pressure force difference derived from the first and second working pressures, a front axle load value that represents an axle load acting on the front axle (14).
