Abstract: Field surface fluctuations and crop residues can induce significant random vibrations of no-tillage planters, which may negatively affect seed implantation stability and crop yield. At present, it is difficult to understand the extent to which the working components of a no-tillage planter affect its vibration, and how to reduce the influence of vibration on the quality of the no-tillage seeding is a critical problem. The main factors affecting the vibration of no-tillage planters were studied by tractor engine vibration source impact analysis experiments, no-tillage planter structural vibration source experiments, and light and heavy no-tillage configuration vibration source analysis experiments. The results show that the effects of the ground wheels, the fertilizing and stubble breaking and cleaning devices, the packer wheels, and the power output shaft gradually diminish. The resonant frequencies of the tractor–no-tillage planter system were 68.36 Hz and 67.38 Hz. Furthermore, this study provided a relative assessment of the correlation between planter downforce and its vibration intensity. To sum up, the multi-source vibration impact analysis method proposed an effective method for studying the contribution of individual components to the overall vibration behavior of no-tillage planters. It provides a theoretical basis for the optimization design of the vibration damping system.
