I'm thinking about farm tractor seat suspension in which there isn't axle suspensions and the unsuspended mass is much higher than the suspendend mass. Can the seat oscillation is lower than tractor one?
Danger said:With apologies, I can't quite understand what you're asking.
If you want to know how to use the lightest possible suspended components, I'd recommend a canvas or plastic sling seat hung on bungee cords.
I somehow suspect that I'm misinterpreting you, though.
edit: Oh, crap! I just realized what you mean. There should some theoretical method of achieving what you want, but I don't know if it's physically possible. The mechanical equivalent of a sound-cancellation system is indicated, if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure that it could be done if you have access to the sort of equipment used in modern fighter aircraft flight control systems, but that's a bit out of reach for the average farmer.
Danger said:I don't see any functional difference between #3 and #4 in that picture, but I would personally prefer either to the alternatives.
The last time that I drove a tractor, the seat was welded to the end of a leaf spring.
More like 65 or 70. I started driving it in 1960 and it was already old even then.serbring said:I think the tractor you have used is very old almost 40 years old.

I don't think that there's anything wrong with your explanation; I just don't know the answer. What I meant by the "sound-cancellation" remark is that you might require some sort of "active" movement negation system as opposed to a "passive" one.
Tractor seat suspension refers to the system that is used to absorb and reduce the impact of vibrations and bumps while operating a tractor. It allows for a smoother and more comfortable ride for the driver.
Tractor seat suspension works by using a combination of springs, shock absorbers, and dampeners to absorb and dissipate the energy from bumps and vibrations. This helps to reduce the impact on the driver's body and provides a more comfortable experience.
Tractor seat suspension is important because it helps to reduce fatigue and discomfort for the driver, especially during long periods of operation. It also helps to protect the driver's body from the impact of bumps and vibrations, which can lead to injuries over time.
The benefits of using tractor seat suspension include a smoother and more comfortable ride for the driver, reduced fatigue and discomfort, and improved safety. It also helps to protect the tractor's components from damage caused by excessive vibrations.
Yes, there are different types of tractor seat suspension, including mechanical spring suspension, hydraulic suspension, and air suspension. Each type has its own unique features and benefits, and the choice will depend on the specific needs and preferences of the user.
