Abstract
When caring for forest crops, it is necessary to prune the branches. Cutting of top branches is carried out in nurseries, removal of shrubs - on clearings, the formation of crowns - in forest shelterbelts. It is difficult for the operator to simultaneously control several hydraulic cylinders and maintain the required position of the working body. It becomes possible to automate the process of pruning branches with the development of digital means of visual and automatic
 control. It is necessary to determine the control actions on the hydraulic cylinders of the branch cutter to automate the work of the operator. Modern technological equipment is designed in computer-aided design (CAD) systems. It enables using a numerical method to conduct a computer experiment on a simulation model. The design of the cutter in Solidworks have
 been made. A simulation model has been compiled. The simulation model takes into account geometric, kinematic and inertial parameters of the cutter chains. The movement of the cutter working body from the transport position to the working one has been studied. Virtual displacement sensors have been installed on the chains in the Motion Solidworks
 module, and cutter paths have been obtained. The resulting control actions can be used as an input parameter for simulation models in other mathematical environments, and when creating prototypes of cutting control mechanisms
