Potato digger with latticed plowshares and oscillating rods

The process of digging potatoes is characterized by high energy costs due to the interaction potato digger's plowshares with tuber-bearing soil layer. study aims substantiate parameters lattice plowshare. In proposed digger, plowshare made latticed and equipped oscillating rods. This digger has a mechanism for transmitting torque experiments were carried out using special laboratory-field installation. Various manufactured, single-factor out. During experiments, degree damage loss tuber traction resistance taken as evaluation criteria. results experimental studies determine are presented. It established that optimal design scheme consists transmission mechanisms, plowshares, forcibly As result, theoretical studies, analytical dependencies, mathematical models obtained Studies have destroy formation required extent minimal tuber, well costs, width should be 55 cm, angle installation relative horizon 22°, length 38 gap between bars 3 cm.
