This study was conducted to construct the soil bin system and associated microcomputerbased data acquisition system which is to be used for the effective evaluation of wheel performance. The soil bin system consists of four main parts; soil bin, carriage drive system, test carriage and soil processing carriage. The test carriage was constructed to measure the five performance parameters of testing wheels; pulling force, motion resistance, sinkage and rotational speed of test wheel, and speed of test carriage. The test wheel is powered by a hydraulic system up to 8 PS. Soil processing carriage was designed to provide uniform test soil conditions across the soil bin, and reproduction of soil conditions found satisfiable. The data acquisition system consists of APPLE II PLUS microcomputer, strain amplifier, I/O interface, A/D converter, digital counter and various transducers. It takes about 0.86 seconds to measure a set of performance parameters and store on the floppy disk simultaneously. Series of experiment showed that this system can be used effectively for evaluating the wheel performance associated with soil
