Justification of turning disc plow parameters for tillage machines in agriculture

Abstract

Abstract This study presents the results of theoretical research conducted on the parameters of the working bodies of a turning disk plough. Analytical expressions were derived to determine the longitudinal distance between the working bodies, based on the condition that the located working body is outside the zone of influence on the palm. The calculations indicate that the direction of movement of the working bodies and the installation angles relative to the vertical should be within the ranges of 40-45° and 15-25°, respectively. Additionally, the disc diameter should be at least 600 mm, the radius of curvature should be at least 700 mm, and the transverse and longitudinal distances between the working bodies should be suitable, with values between 30-36 cm and at least 53 cm, respectively.
