The percentage drop in maximum power during natural ambient and high ‘ambient condition was observed as 6.9 %, which was considered on higher side. This should be looked into for necessary corrective action. iv) The backup torque is observed as 18.4 %. 16.4.1.2 Hydraulic Performanc ‘The moment about rear axle was computed as 11.70 kN-m and 13.19 kN-m, at hitch point and standard frame respectively which is on higher side when compared to the moment of tractor about front axle ie. 10.89 kN-m under unballasted condition. Therefore, it is recommended that the lifting capacity may be reduced suitably to avoid front lifting of tractor. 1641.3 Mechanical Vibration: The amplitude of mechanical vibration on various assemblies marked as (*) in Chapter-9 of this test report is on higher side especially at especially on the left and Fight foot rest and steering wheel. This calls for dampening down of vibrations to improve the operational comfort and service life of components. 16.4.1.4 — Three point linkage: i) The lateral distance from lower hitch point to centre line of tractor, lateral Taovement of lower hitch points and power range (Without force) does not meet the requirements of IS: 4468 (Part-l)-1997.
