The effect of Gang Angle of Offset Disc Harrows on Soil Tilth, Work Rate and Fuel Consumption

In offset disc harrows, the angle between gangs may be changed to meet the field conditions. Tractor drivers usually use an angle close to maximum, increasing power requirements and therefore limiting the forward speed and, consequently, the work rate. The objective of this work was to study, in the...
