Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the variables of displacement speed, force and power required to pull the seeder and tractor driving wheel slip. Five displacement speeds were obtained in function of the gear variations, changes in rotation of the tractor’s axis and two configurations of planting row mountings. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks with three replicates. It could be concluded that the variable force required for planting was constant and independent of the displacement speed of the mechanized set. For power demand, the configuration in unbalanced double discs presented higher values than the knife mechanism at all speeds and rotations of the tractor’s axis evaluated.
