Agrotechnical and energy assessment of strip tillage machine in field conditions

Abstract

The article presents the results of field studies to determine the quality and energy indicators of a modernized cultivator for strip tillage for industrial crops. An experimental setup with load cells with a nominal value of 30000 N is designed to measure the tractive resistance of the cultivator in the field. The result of the study is to establish the relationship between the cultivator traction resistance on the speed movement at various angles of spherical disks attack and the degree of crumbling on the structural and technological parameters of the cultivator. Various structural and technological parameters of the cultivator are the basis for measuring hectare fuel consumption.
