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 to develop practical skills. The latest standards have been incorporated as needed, but the DIN sheets themselves are binding.

This book serves as a reference work for journeymen, masters, and technicians in the agricultural and construction machinery trade, as well as for students of agricultural and construction machinery technology, aiding in information retrieval and supplementing professional knowledge. It also allows anyone interested in agricultural and construction machinery technology to expand their expertise through self-study.

This standard work in agricultural and construction machinery technology is divided into 28 chapters. The selected learning content is aimed at the professional profile of agricultural and construction machinery mechatronics technicians. Key areas include environmental protection, manufacturing technology, and materials technology, along with 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, earthmoving 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 street sweepers and snow plows are emphasized.

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