The design of the working equipment for laying a drip tape based on the Grimme GF-75/4 ridge former

The article examines statistical data on the amount of precipitation in spring - summer period and substantiates need for irrigation measures when growing potatoes Moscow region. rationality use drip as most economical effective method watering has been proved. With irrigation, there is practically no danger excessive watering, causing leaching nutrients from root layer, an increase level groundwater, additional load drainage network. will make it possible to maintain optimal water air balance during season. possibility combining technological operations laying a tape forming potato ridges considered. It found that resistance not create significant traction resistance, so working equipment can be mounted ridge former. design stacker based Grimme GF-75/4 former was developed mechanized laid ridge. proven implementation formation with one machine productivity work reduce energy consumption.
