Abstract
This article presents methods and results of experimental research to determine the power consumed when driving the working bodies of the straw bedding mobile spreader to cover cow stalls (boxes). Analysis of the design and mode parameters of the rotary finger working body influence on the energy consumption of the bedding material spreading process is carried out. Using the experimental data, it was established that the power consumed to drive the rotary finger working body of the mobile straw bedding spreader, at the tractor power take-off (PTO) shaft rotation speed of 540 min−1, the forward unit speed of 2 km/h, and performance of 1.5 kg/s, is equal to 7.633 kW. In this case, due to the installation of a rotary finger working body for spreading straw bedding, the power consumption increased by 9%. This increase will not have a significant impact on the overall energy consumption of the spreading bedding material working process, because this class tractor power reserve allows its use.

Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. For mechanized delivery and spreading of bedding, special machines are used, which can be both universal (forage dispensers, forage mixers) and specialized (bale carriers-shredders “Castor”, “Tomahawk”, PRIMOR, “GOSPODAR”, ISRK-12). As practice shows, the well-known bedding spreaders, mainly of foreign manufacture, have quite substantial technological and economic disadvantages. For mechanization of the process of spreading the straw bedding, the Zaporizhzhia Research Center for Livestock
