Research of the Penetration Process of the Frontal Plow

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the study is to study and analyze the process of penetration (deepening) of the frontal plow. Dependencies are obtained for determining the length of the deepening of the serial and frontal plows into the soil. The dynamics of the process of deepening of the frontal plow is analyzed depending on its dynamic characteristics. A differential equation is obtained that characterizes the process of deepening the frontal plow. Theoretical and experimental studies have established that the depth of the frontal plow is significantly affected by the weight of the plow, traction resistance and the relative position of its working bodies. The length of the path of penetration of the frontal plow does not depend on the width of the plow and is 2.0-2.5 m, which is 3-3.5 times less than the path length of a serial plow of equal width.
