Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop work modes of 78 kW Class agricultural tractor. Rotary tillage and baler operation were selected as major agricultural operation. The working load data was measured through CAN communication. The work modes were developed using the international driving cycle construction method for conventional vehicles with the measured load data. The arbitrary work modes were generated by combining micro-trips, and some of them achieved less than 5% absolute percentage error (APE) between the entire dataset and the generated work mode. The developed work modes could possible representative of the actual agricultural operation because the APE between the developed work mode and the entire measured dataset was less than 5%. The results of this study showed that developing the tractor work mode using the driving cycle development method is feasible.
