Black Bruin supports research on fuel efficiency and soil conservation in plowing

6.9.2024

Black Bruin, together with Kuhn Huard SA, Massey Ferguson, and Michelin, is collaborating on a research project coordinated by the Agricultural Machinery and New Technologies Chair at the Polytechnical Institute UniLaSalle in France.

The project aims to evaluate the performance of a plow equipped with a hydraulic wheel drive system in field cultivation, specifically focusing on potential fuel savings, reduced soil compaction, and other benefits of using a single-wheel auxiliary drive in an 8-body tractor-pulled plow.

Early results are promising: the hydraulic wheel drive reduces slippage, allowing plowing to be completed faster and more efficiently. The outcome? Increased productivity and reduced fuel consumption per hectare, enhancing both cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

As the research project continues, we look forward to share more exciting findings!
