Theoretical Substantiation of the Angle of Mounting a Flat Ridge-Forming Disc of a Row Crop Cultivator

The authors have developed a row-crop cultivator equipped with ridge former, which allows performing high-quality operations of row crop cultivation in one pass. inter is carried out cultivator, on each section two formers are mounted so that their flat discs directed towards the plants at an acute angle, and extreme edges wings V-shaped sweeps located lower base soil ridge. When moves, loosen to required depth cut weeds, move layer coming off rows plants, hilling them burying weeds. In presented article, theoretically substantiate angle attack disc for weeds thickness. It was found depends radius its movement soil, initial dimensions physical mechanical properties soil.
