The unit for improvement of degenerated mountainside sections

BACKGROUND: The results of RD works on the laboratory prototype a small disk harrow aimed for operation at mountainsides and capable to improve labor capacity yield highland forage lands by 1520% are presented.
 AIMS: developed module mountain tractor-drawn sections piedmont areas eliminate weed infestation soil; increase fertility lands, ensure stability grass against deflation erosion.
 METHODS: technical examination machine was carried out station North Caucasian Research Institute Highland Piedmont Agriculture in Dargvas village, Republic Ossetia-Alania altitude 1540 meters above sea level slope angle up 12. properties testing conditions functional unit were determined. scientific documentation cultivation soil compliance with GOST 33687-2015 standard. subject study includes operating tools (the disks), distance between neighboring disks, curvature radius, diameter as well design mounting frame harrow.
 RESULTS: produced basis minitractor. is represented inline arrangement 9 spherical disks mounted individual struts. provided capability switch from right-to-left mountainside mode left-to-right when turning optional press wheels.
 CONCLUSIONS: Practical use ensures reduction generating processes ofmountainside sections, increases water erosion wind environmental efficiency grassland farming.
