Determining the depth of immersion of combined machine ridge harvesters and the dimensions of the ridges produced by them

Abstract

The article discusses the outcomes of theoretical research focused on determining the optimal depth of immersion for combined machine cultivators used in preparing garden and vine rows for monoculture planting, along with the corresponding dimensions of the cultivators they form. The study specifically addresses the planting of vegetable crops between these rows, with a standard width of 70 cm. Considering the typical growth pattern of these crops in bush form, with heights ranging from 10-15 cm and widths of 33-37 cm at the top, it was concluded that the immersion depth of the combined machine’s bushes should be adjusted within the range of 8.5-14.9 cm to meet agrotechnical requirements effectively.
