scope:

As a supplement to current recommendations [8; 9; 17], this standard considers conditions in plant production as well as the state of the art in agricultural engineering for exemplary wheel loads. Machine/ soil interaction is also taken into account (Section 2 to Section 4). On this basis, soil-protecting measures for the selection and use of machinery are derived, and concrete decision aids with regard to the trafficability of soils used for agriculture are given (Section 5) In Section 2 to Section 4, reference to Section 5 is marked /E4.1 (1)/, for example. In Section 5, references are made by mentioning the chapter, e. g. /Section 2.1.1/.
