What does 6x4 mean for a tractor?
1 Answers
Tractor 6x4 refers to a model with a single front axle and dual rear axles, totaling 6 wheels with 4 of them being drive wheels. The axle, also known as the wheel axle, is connected to the frame or load-bearing body through the suspension, with wheels installed at both ends. Its function is to transmit forces and moments in all directions between the frame or load-bearing body and the wheels. The control device of the traction control system is a computer, which monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering angle of the steering wheel. When the vehicle accelerates, if the computer detects an excessive speed difference between the drive wheels and non-drive wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is too high and sends a signal to reduce the fuel supply to the engine, thereby lowering the driving force and reducing the slip rate of the drive wheels.
