Abstract: Stability and traction is a subject of great concern to farm mechanization engineers and researchers. A very limited effort has been made to create an interface that can accurately simulate the output of a 2WD tractor with a suspended working implement on different kinds of soil. The Application offers an interactive user interface to estimate the performance of a chosen tractor and model by connecting databases such as tractor specifications and traction equation coefficients. Android Technology has been developed for 2WD tractors fitted with radial- and bias- tyres, in order to assess tractive performance as well as suitable field stability conditions. The minimal load to be maintained on the front axle of the tractor was kept as 20 % of the tractor's overall static weight.

Keywords: Prediction model, Tractive performance, radial-ply tyre, bias ply tyre, android studio, android application.
