CHOICE OF RATIONAL DISTANCE BETWEEN FLATCUTTING WORKING BODIES AND DRUM-CUTTER''S ROTATION AXIS
Highly productive potato growing is based on achievements of scientific and technical progress, including introduction of modern technologies for its cultivation Possibility of combination of technological operations of cultivation, milling, formation of crests when landing potatoes that allows to increase productivity of works not less than by 1.3 times is studied. The technological capability of performance of operations for one pass is investigated. Influence of distance between flat-cutting working bodies and drum-cutter rotation axis on a torque and soil crumbling is studied on laboratory installation. On the basis of the received dependences the rational distance between flatcutting working bodies and drumcutter rotation axis is defined. This parameter has to be in limits of 0.4-0.45 m.
