Abstract: This paper has taken a 25-horsepower tractor as the object and developed a distributed drive electric tractor (DDET), which may be applied to farms in paddy and upland fields. First, we designed the structure of the chassis drive system in the DDET, then analyzed the dynamic performances, built an evaluation index of dynamic performance for the DDET, and researched the influencing factors of dynamic performances. Moreover, we built the simulation model and studied the dynamic performance based on Advisor software in different working conditions. Finally, we developed the testing tractor of the DDET for test verification. Results show that the traction of DDET is about 5400 N, and the time from being static to being accelerated to a maximum speed of 28.15 km/h is about 5.5279 s. The theoretical analysis results, simulation results, and testing tractor verification results of the DDET designed in this paper are basically consistent, and the overall dynamic performance of the DDET is good.
