Outline of Final Research Achievements

The improvement of safety, and the comfort of agricultural machines are one of the most important tasks while the aging of farmers, but also the more women are becoming farmers. The electric tractor (machine 1) was developed and the effect of energy saving was confirmed in the former study.
In order to control the energy loss as much as possible, the power transmission system with gears and structuring with gears are removed, and the electric tractor (machine 2) which controls speed with only controlling the numbers of rotating the motor was developed in this study. The vibration and the noise of the machine 2 was massively reduced comparing with machine 1. Especially with the noise, the very highly comfort which is the same level as quiet towns was gained. As a result, the effect of reduction of the mental and physical burden for the drivers and local residents are expected.
