MULTIPURPOSE TRANSFORMABLE TRANSPORTATION AND SOIL TILLAGE MACHINE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: machine has drive base with planetary mechanisms enclosed in carriers. Transportation wheels mounted on two shafts of second-row satellites at outer side of carriers are kinematically connected with one another through caterpillar. Soil tillage tools are mounted on other shafts. Carriers are mounted for movement from transport position to operating position. Transportation may be provided in rolling mode as well as in traveling mode during transportation across trackless ground. Operating tools, such as flat hoes, are positioned on machine frame rearward of carriers so as to be moved from operating position to transport position. Vessel for applying of fertilizer or for seed sowing may be mounted on machine body. Machine is used for various kinds of soil tillage and may be used as all-terrain vehicle. EFFECT: improved quality of soil tillage, reduced operating costs and wider operating capabilities. 4 cl, 5 dwg
