Wobbly
Wheels For
Tractors
It seems Man did the rong
fining when .. he invented the
wheel all those aeons ago. If
only he had put an elliptical tree
trunk under.that heavy load to
roll it --instead of a round one,
modern research has shown he
...would have done a lot better.
For, as Richard Oliver pointed
out in a BBC broadcast, wheels
can sometimes be more effective
if the`, are not round. In
In mud, the rotund wheel just
digs itself in by pushing theinud
back instead of rolling itself
forward. But now imagine an
elliptical wheel. This, too, .will
dig in but _having done this, it
,will also'push back' against the'
mud wall it has built itself. Thus
an elliptical wheel can get out of
mud which defeats round ones.
But -won't . odd -shaped wheels
make the vehicle jump along like
a kangaroo? The trouble is, that
the distance from'the ground [b ,
the „axle varies as an el iptieat,
wheel'' turns But; you ca n get
over 'this easily__.:..Lf you fix the
wheels to the a ' so that the
. shaft is ,high on one side when it
is low on the other, 'then .the
axle just see -saws instead of the
kangaroo, ;motion. The centre
point or .the ;axle stays at the
same distance from the ground
all the time — and it is here you
fix the suspension. Fine! But
where can ybu get elliptical
„,,.,, ,1 wels? , Difficult, but. you can
get much -the same effect by
using • round ones, mounted
off-centre.

20,000 square feet, will d'►9nlay
most of the now over half ,4

This .fascinating idea is now,
being put into production in
Britain as a 150 pound
conversion kit for the'Fbrd 4.00
tractor. The conversion kit — a
pair of, spacial eccentric hub
mounts for the wheels allows
you' to change between eccentric
and normal running at the touch,
of a couple. of levers. ',You use
normal drive till you bog down,
then change to eccentric
running. This gives about double
the normal tractive effort to get
you unstuck — and you then
change back to normal.. At a
recent' demonstration by the
makers, Elliptical Drirn `ltd.; a
modified. tractor'with off-centre
wheels kept going through thick
mud, while • a tractor with -
normal wheels just dug a grave
for itself.
