ABSTRACT


The subject of the present paper are the problems of
generating driving forces on recreational grass by traction tires of grass type.
The studies examined changes of traction forces generated by these tires on turfgrass
utilized with varying intensity. An analysis is presented of changes in the maximum
traction forces, friction coefficients, maximum shear stress and compaction.
Among the tested tires, the largest traction forces were generated by a tire
of 18×9.5-8 for the whole range of changes of perpendicular loads.

Key words: recreational grass, turfgrass, utilization, tires of grass type, traction force, friction coefficient.
