The at least one drive wheel comprises supporting arms which extend from an axis of rotation of the drive wheel in the radial direction in the manner of spokes and a gap is formed radially on the outside, at least between two adjacent supporting arms in each case. At least one friction element is situated, in particular detachably, radially outwardly on a supporting arm for non-positive interaction with the track belt.

Abstract: An agricultural working machine has a first axle and a second axle, multiple ground-engaging means disposed at the first and second axles that are at least partially drivable by a drive engine or are steerable using steering-knuckle steering, a steering-angle sensor disposed at a steerable ground-engaging means for detecting a set steering angle (?th) and a steering brake for the selective braking of one or more drivable, ground-engaging means for steering support.

Abstract: An apparatus having a shaft that can sense the depth of penetration, for penetrating into an object (the substrate). The substrate being penetrated has impedance that varies according to the depth under a surface of the substrate. The shaft has a tip for penetration and has conductive ends near to the tip of the shaft. A change of impedance of material of the object between the conductive ends can be sensed to provide information on the depth of penetration. A processor can be provided external to the object being penetrated by the shaft to gather and process the impedance information to determine whether the desired depth has been achieved.
