Investigating the rationale of dimensional elements in the ripper of a combined unit

Abstract

The article describes a technology for minimizing tillage when growing cotton in rows and calculates the dimensions of the ripper parameters of the combined unit that uses this technology. Based on the results of the experiment, these calculations showed that the ripper's working surface length should not be less than 150 mm and its coverage width should not exceed 140 mm in order to ensure soil softening and prevent ditch compaction beneath the processed layer-by-layer soil structure.
