A two-wheel-drive tractor weighs25 kN, wheelbase2.2 m, CG0.7 m ahead of rear axle. A steady horizontal pull at hitch height0.5 m leaves front-axle load20% of total static tractor weight. Find net traction coefficient (two decimals).
The final front reaction is0.20×25=5 kN. Moments about the rear contact give5(2.2)=25(0.7)−P(0.5), so P=13 kN. Rear driving-wheel load is25−5=20 kN. Net traction coefficient=P/Wrear=13/20=0.65.
