Abstract

Modern agricultural machinery is heavy, leading to intense soil compaction in –elds. Compaction degrades the physical properties of the soil and reduces its productivity. This review examines technologies aimed at reducing soil compaction by machinery, including the use of lowpressure tires and tracked drives to reduce soil pressure, the use of controlled trac farming systems to limit impact zones, and the introduction of automated lightweight equipment (lightweight autonomous robots). A comparative analysis of the impact of wheeled, tracked, and combined chassis systems (including rubber tracks) on soil compaction is provided. Approaches to reducing rutting and maintaining soil looseness through the integration of automation and controlled trac farming system are proposed.
