Laboratory Studies Into Undercarriage Systems<br />

penetrometer resistance has a similar characteristic as the tracks. When taking the 680-700<br />

into consideration, the additional pass of the 680 on the outer side creating a wider rut must<br />

be kept in mind as this machine was run on 680 dual tyres on the front axle.<br />

The second group had a more constant decrease rate with depth in penetrometer resistance<br />

and is shown in Figure 30 and resembles the typical penetrometer resistance caused by<br />

tyre-type undercarriage systems. Hereby the values were lower at the surface compared to<br />

the group with the peak at or close to the surface, yet higher below 250 – 300 mm depth.<br />
