Design and Experiment of Hydraulic Scouring System of Wide-Width Lotus Root Digging Machine

In response to the problems of small working width and low operating efficiency of existing hydraulic scouring lotus root harvesters, a wide-width hydraulic scouring system was designed based on a wide-width self-propelled lotus root harvester. The main parameters of the key components were determin...
