Fachkunde Land- und Baumaschinentechnik

The expertise in agricultural and construction machinery technology is intended to assist trainees in understanding technical processes and system relationships. This book provides the necessary theoretical knowledge required for practical skills. The latest standards have been incorporated as needed, but the DIN sheets themselves are binding.

The book serves as a reference work for journeymen, masters, and technicians in the agricultural and construction machinery trades, as well as for students of agricultural and construction machinery technology, providing information and supplementing professional knowledge. It aims to enable anyone interested in agricultural and construction machinery technology to expand their expertise through self-study.

This standard work on agricultural and construction machinery technology is divided into 28 chapters. The chosen learning content is aligned with the professional profile of agricultural and construction machinery mechatronics technicians. Key areas include environmental protection, manufacturing technology, materials technology, as well as the fundamentals of hydraulics, engine technology for commercial vehicle engines, diesel injection systems, and pollutant reduction.

In agricultural machinery technology, important focuses include soil cultivation, ordering technology, plant protection, and harvesting technology. In construction machinery technology, earth-moving technology and conveyor technology are significant. In the forestry sector, mobile working devices for wood harvesting and processing are described. In the municipal sector, cleaning devices such as sweepers and snow plows are highlighted.

In the second edition, the following areas have been added: belt drives in power transmission, 2/2-way installation valves in hydraulics, fertilization technology in agricultural machinery, and small devices in municipal technology.
