An Estimator for Torque and Draft Force Requirements of a New Up-cut Rotary Tiller

The aim of this study is to design, fabricate and evaluate a new type of up-cut rotary tiller and to develop correct formulas to estimate its torque and draft force using the laws of classical mechanics. In order to verify the model, a real-sized prototype of the rotary tiller was tested. It was hyp...
