Abstract

Tillage is the most energy-intensive process and should be aimed at the accumulation of humus and the formation of a fertile soil layer. Therefore, the development of resource-saving technological processes and technical means to stop the progressive degradation of soil from wind, water erosion and reduce operating costs is relevant. The most gentle cultivation of the soil with less energy costs allows you to perform disk implements. The cultivator working process is examined from the point of view of the power characteristics of the disk-soil. Soil cultivation is systemic in nature and is based on zonal conditions, as it should be soil-protective, energy-saving, economically viable and environmentally friendly. Fulfilment of these requirements is connected with the right choice and optimal combination of used machines. Analytical expressions are obtained that establish the dependence of the horizontal and vertical components of the drag force of a disk tillage implement as a function of the volume of the cut soil layer. The use of the research results will help industrial enterprises of agricultural machinery in the design of new tillage machines for agriculture, which will reduce the cost of manufacturing prototypes and testing them for traction resistance and quality of soil cultivation.
