3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 operating time
The time for a product to complete various defined functions. For tractor,
operating time includes tractor load operation time, turning time at turn-row and
conversion time for tractor’s null operation (5h null operation time is converted
to 1h working time), but excluding tractor running-in time, performance test time
and engine idle time.
3.2 fault correction time
The time required from fault is found to product function is recovered, that is,
the sum of fault diagnosis time, repair time and commissioning time, but
excluding time delayed by human or natural factors.
3.3 maintenance time
The operating time required to complete maintenance specified in user manual.
It includes shift maintenance and time spent on maintenance at all levels, but
excluding time delayed by human or natural factors.
3.4 fault
All phenomena that a product or its component cannot perform its specified
functions or performance indicators are deteriorated beyond specified range
(see 2.2 in GB/T 24648.2-2009).
For example, parts damage, wear overrun, weld cracking, paint peeling, loose
fasteners, sign off and difficulty in starting, power reduction, fuel consumption
increase, slow rise and other phenomena that exceed specified values.
3.5 inherent weakness fault
Under specified conditions of use, the fault that is caused by defect inherent in
product itself.
For example, excessive deformation, fracture, early wear and fatigue of parts,
abnormal corrosion and aging, loosening or failure of fasteners, performance
degradation, and "three leaks" (see 2.3 in GB/T 24648.2-2009).
3.6 secondary fault
The fault of other parts of product that is directly or indirectly caused by fault of
some part of product, or the derived fault caused by inherent weakness fault.
For example, when engine is broken due to broken connecting rod bolts and
damages of a series of parts such as connecting rods, bushings, pistons and
cylinders, broken connecting rod bolts shall be inherent weakness fault, and
damages of a series of parts shall be secondary fault (see 2.4 in GB/T 24648.2-
2009).
See formula (2) for mean interval time between faults.
Where,
MTBF - Mean interval time between faults of tractor, in hours (h);
tci - Timing end test time of the ith tractor to be tested, in hours (h); for tractor to
be investigated, it is accumulated operating time, in hours (h);
ra - Total number of faults (except minor faults) of tractors to be tested or
investigated during use or test period (including during run-in and performance
test).
If all tested tractors have no faults (except minor faults), it is specified to use
to represent.
5.4 Mean interval time between downtime faults
See formula (3) for mean interval time between downtime faults.
Where,
DTMTBF - Mean interval time between downtime faults of tractor, in hours (h);
rd - Total number of downtime faults (i.e., fatal faults and severe faults) of
tractors to be tested or investigated during use or test period (including during
run-in and performance test).
If all tested tractors have no faults (except minor faults), it is specified to use
to represent.
5.5 Trouble-free comprehensive score
Within specified test time, if one of tractors to be tested has fatal fault, this type
of tractor shall fail in trouble-free comprehensive score. Its Q value shall not be
calculated.
For tractor to be tested that has no fatal fault, its trouble-free comprehensive
score is calculated according to formula (4):
or total cost of troubleshooting of this type of tractor (including replacement and
repair costs) during test period specified in 7.3.3.2, in RMB;
Ct - Unit price of this type of tractor, in RMB.
6 Evaluation methods
6.1 Data sources
Sources that are used to evaluate tractor reliability may come from the following
three aspects.
6.1.1 Use test
According provisions of Clause 7, perform reliability test, combing with
production use.
6.1.2 Laboratory or test site reliability test
According to method specified in relevant standard, perform reliability test in
laboratory or on test site where conditions are controllable. However, equivalent
relationship between such test time and actual use time of user shall be known
in advance.
6.1.3 User survey
Conduct sample surveys or full follow-up surveys among users to obtain
reliability data for actual use of tractor.
6.2 Fault determination
For all faults of tractor, according to provisions of Clause 4, determine the nature
of each fault and its category one by one, which are used as basis to calculate
relevant indicators.
6.3 Marking methods for indicator
Marking format for tractor’s reliability indicators is specified as follows:
Indicator code = indicator value (data source)
For example: reliability indicators for tractor of which ××× type engine calibration
power is less than 18kW are as follows:
MTTFF=150h (3×500h use test)
MTBF=250h (3×500h use test)
load specified in user manual. Lifting time is the time used when lower
suspension point rises from the lowest point to the highest point when throttle
is fully open.
7.3.2.3 Brake test
According to provisions of GB/T 3871.6, measure maximum average
deceleration speed of cold braking.
7.3.3 Put test prototype into normal use under actual conditions for use. It shall
use and perform maintenance strictly according to provisions in user manual.
All kinds of work quality shall meet agronomic requirements.
7.3.3.1 Record test situation of each test prototype in details according to Table
A.5.
7.3.3.2 Total working time of test prototype is 1500h. It is 2×750h for tractor of
which engine calibration power is greater than 18kW, 3×500h for rest tractors.
7.3.3.3 Work items for each test prototype: field work item (ploughing, hoeing,
sowing, collecting) time of wheel tractor and walking tractor is not less than 70%
of total operating time; transportation time is not more than 30%; fixed work is
not allowed. For crawler tractor, all are field work, and fixed work is not allowed.
For forestry skidding tractor, all are skidding work. Work items and time
proportion for tractors of other special uses are drafted and determined by
referring to this Part.
7.3.3.4 During test process, it shall measure at any time hourly fuel
consumption required to complete various works, so as to determine and adjust
load degree of each test prototype. Average load factors for field work of wheel
and walking tractors shall not be lower than 55% and 50%, respectively;
transportation work is rated load mass. Average load factors for field work of
crawler tractor shall not be less than 60%. Carrying capacity of forestry skidding
tractor shall not be less than 80% of rated carrying capacity.
7.3.3.5 For all faults happened during use test (including run-in and
performance tests), it shall record occurrence time, situation, cause analysis,
repair work time in details. When necessary, it shall take photos and conduct
physical and chemical analysis. For all faults, it shall, according to relevant
provisions of Clause 4, determine their categories to which they belong and
record them in Table A.6 and Table A.7.
7.3.3.6 In test, general fault and severe fault shall be excluded before test is
continued. In the event of any major damage caused by non-essential causes,
organization in charge of test may negotiate with entrusting party before it
selects another prototype for testing. If test is a sampling test, it must be
reported to entrusting authority for approval before standby prototype can be
Where,
Qso - Total workload to complete a work, in hectares (ha) or tons kilometers
(t·km);
Qs - Shift workload to complete a work, in hectares (ha) or tons kilometers
(t·km).
d) Average productivity
Respectively collect according to work category. Average productivity is
calculated according to formula (10).
Where,
qsp - Average productivity of tractor to complete a work, in hectares per
hour (ha/h) or tons kilometers per hour [(t·km)/h];
ts - Shift operating time to complete a work [see formula (11)], in hours (h).

See formula (12) for average hourly fuel consumption.
Where,
Gtp - Average hourly fuel consumption of tractor to complete a work, in
kilograms per hour (kg/h);
Gs - Total fuel consumption of tractor to complete a work, in kilograms (kg);
