Traction and Hitching Properties and Flotation Ability of Wheeled Mover Taking the Grounds with Weak Carrying Capacity

A technique to determine the traction and hitching properties and the rut depth of drive wheels in their rolling over weak grounds is considered which allows estimating the flotation ability of wheeled vehicles as a whole. Calculations of the above properties are given for the wheel 18,4R38 that rolls over the virgin peatbog.
