During the process of irrigation of wide-coverage sprinklers (WS) by the interaction of the wheels with the soil, the soil is pressed. In this case, the WS wheels impact the soil with a certain specific pressure. Specific pressure depends on a number of factors such as the length of vehicle, span length, vehicle weight, the diameter of water line, wheel contact area, determined by wheel geometry, pressure and tire type. The article carries out theoretical investigations determining the specific pressure of the wheel on the soil. It also given some recommendations connected with a number of wheels to be installed on the WS body compared with the calculated specific pressure of the designed vehicle with the standard specific pressure.
