The theoretical digging force is the maximum digging resistance that an excavator can overcome, which is an important measure of its digging capacity. To study the matching of the digging capacity with the actual demand and the matching of the working device mechanism, a 36.5 t backhoe hydraulic excavator is used as an example to analyse the distributions of the digging resistance under two different normal digging area working conditions and the maximum digging resistance characteristics of the tool.
