5.2.1.2 Calculate actual D
C
value for combination to be coupled
WARNING Risk to people due to failure of components caused by
breaking coupling devices between tractor and machine in case
of incorrect use of the tractor!
•
Only combine compatible coupling devices and drawgears.
•
Calculate the actual D
C
value of your combination, consisting of
tractor and rigid drawbar trailer to check the coupling device of
your tractor for the required D
C
value. The actual calculated D
C
value for the combination must be less than or equal to (≤) the
specified D
C
value of the coupling device of your tractor and the
drawgear of the rigid drawbar trailer. If this is not the case, the
admissible towing capacity for your tractor must be calculated.
In each case, the lowest D
C
value shall be relevant.
•
Calculate the admissible towing capacity of your tractor if the
calculated D
C
value for the combination is higher than the
specified D
C
value of the coupling device of your tractor or of
the drawgear of the rigid drawbar trailer. This calculated towing
capacity must not be exceeded when charging your rigid
drawbar trailer.
The actual D
C
value of a combination to be coupled is calculated as follows:
D
C
= g x
T x C
T + C
Fig. 43
T: Gross vehicle weight rating of your tractor in [t]
(see operating instructions/vehicle registration certificate of tractor)
C: Axle load/Sum of axle loads of the machine charged with the admissible mass (loading
capacity) in [t] without tongue load
g: Gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s²)
