ABSTRACT
Kubota Carrier RC20P which had its metal shoes extended
by 43% to enable it to be used on peat soil, was tested
against Porter P6-121. The tests carried out included
repetitive-pass test, straight-line speed test, turning
circle test, obstacle test and centre of gravity test. In
addition, noise intensity at driver's ear level, vibration
level of machine and drawbar pull on peat soil were measured.
From the tests carried out, it was found that RC20P gave a
better overall performance on peat soil than P6-121.
Furthermore, RC20P possessed various machine design features
that made it more appropiate for use under farmer's field
condition.
ABSTRAK
Ujian-ujian telah dijalankan untuk membandingkan kegunaan
mesin pengangkutan Kubota Carrier RC20P yang telah
diubahsuai, dengan mesin pengangkutan Porter P6-121 di tanah
gambut. Pengubahsuaian yang telah dibuat pada RC20P ialah
melebarkan trek besinya sebanyak 43 peratus. Ujian-ujian yang
dijalankan termasuk ujian lalu berkali-kali, ujian kelajuan
garis lurus, ujian rintangan, ujian pusing, ujian "centre of
gravity", ujian getaran mesin, ujian kebisingan dan ujian
tarikan di tanah gambut. Daripada ujian-ujian yang
dijalankan, didapati prestasi RC20P pada keseluruhannya
adalah lebih baik daripada prestasi P6-121 di tanah gambut.
RC20P juga telah dilengkapi dengan beberapa sifat teknik yang
sesuai untuk kegunaannya dalam ladang petani.
