Adaptation of multipurpose tractors to row spaces of cotton crops

Abstract In the Republic of Uzbekistan, cotton cultivation is carried out on row spacings 60; 76 and 90 cm. The machine-tractor parks cotton-growing farms are equipped with agricultural machines designed for these inter-row they aggregated by tractors gauges them. Such a variety tractor creates problem mismatch between gauge spacing when moving from one to another, increases spare parts narrows scope their use only within type spacing. discrepancy serial universal row-crop cultivated leads damage plant compaction soil in area where its root system located. Overconsolidation more than 1.1 g/cm3 slowdown growth development, an increase resistivity during subsequent tillage operations and, most importantly, decrease crop yield. Studies have established that, despite designs known devices used adjust track, change track stepwise insufficient range, as result which does not fit into To eliminate shortcomings methods adjusting device has been developed adapting running work different spacings. allows, without attachments or interchangeable axle shafts casings, accurately adapt tractor’s aisle crops it, thereby eliminating existing row-cultivator tractors. article provides description proposed technical solution method application.
