Agricultural machinery has very high availability requirements because the time window of use is very small
of use is very small due to weather conditions. The testing of agricultural machinery is of great importance.
of agricultural machinery. The aim is to determine the appropriate test procedure and to evaluate empirically
empirically obtained data in order to derive measures in the design or process engineering.
derive. For different types of agricultural machinery, there are typical measurement and evaluation
evaluation methods that are selected and applied by students as examples. The module
essentially teaches the basic knowledge of the subject area and what has been learned is independently
with agricultural machinery.

Performance and evaluation of measurements on agricultural machinery, e.g:

- Tractive force measurement on agricultural tractors

- Determining the density of straw bales as a function of baler setting parameters

- Determination of the distribution accuracy of fertilizer spreaders

- Determination of the tractive force requirement of tillage equipment

- Yield measurements on combine harvesters

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
