description The terrain in hilly and mountainous areas is complex, and the level of agricultural mechanization is low. This article systematically reviews the research progress of key technologies for agricultural machinery power chassis in hilly and mountainous areas, and conducts an analysis of five aspects: the power system, walking system, steering system, leveling system, and automatic navigation and path tracking control system. In this manuscript, (1) in terms of the power system, the technical characteristics and application scenarios of mechanical, hydraulic, and electric drive systems were compared. (2) In terms of the walking system, the performance differences between wheeled, crawler, legged, and composite walking devices and the application of suspension systems in agricultural machinery chassis were discussed. (3) In terms of the steering system, the steering characteristics of wheeled chassis and crawler chassis were analyzed, respectively. (4) In terms of the leveling system, the research progress on hydraulic and electric leveling mechanisms, as well as intelligent leveling control algorithms, was summarized. (5) The technology of automatic navigation and path tracking for agricultural machinery chassis was discussed, focusing on multi-sensor fusion and advanced control algorithms. In the future, agricultural machinery chassis will develop towards the directions of intelligence, automation, greening, being lightweight, and being multi-functionality.
