Many studies have examined the effects of agriculture tractor engine energy performance. This paper presents an evaluation method of such engine actual power use during plowing operations. It includes results of a comparative study of power performance of a 230 kW tractor model John Deere 8330 subject to soil plowing operations as a function of field size: A (26 ha), B (12.74 ha), C (3.22 ha). Statistical data clustering, a relatively novel approach in studies on actual utilization of engine power, was used. A positive correlation was observed between field size and the active state of the engine: 75.2% field A; 68.8% field B; 46.8% field C. The actual power utilization of agriculture tractor engine as a function of field size was 0.62, 0.58 and 0.39 respectively for the three fields used in this study. With this evaluation approach, performance indexes of operational power performance in various conditions were obtained for possible use in optimization of plowing operations.

Ocena stanu obciążenia silnika spalinowego w pojeździe podczas eksploatacji jest przedmiotem wielu prac badawczych. W artykule przedstawiono nową metodę oceny wykorzystania mocy silnika ciągnika rolniczego eksploatowanego podczas orki. Zaprezentowano wyniki badań porównawczych nad wykorzystaniem mocy ciągnika John Deere 8330 (230 kW) w odniesieniu do powierzchni uprawianych pól: A (26 ha), B (12,74 ha) i C (3,22 ha). Do analizy danych pomiarowych zastosowano po raz pierwszy statystyczną metodę grupowania punktów pomiarowych. Na podstawie wyników badań stwierdzono silną korelację dodatnią pomiędzy powierzchnią pól a stanem obciążenia silnika: 75,2% pole A; 68,8% pole B; 46,8% pole C. Opracowany wskaźnik efektywnego wykorzystania mocy silnika ciągnika rolniczego wyniósł odpowiednio: 0,62, 0,58 i 0,39. Stwierdzono, że uzyskane wartości wskaźnika efektywności wykorzystania mocy silnika mogą być przydatne do optymalizacji pracy ciągnika w pracach polowych.
