Abstract

BACKGROUND: In a market economy, farms are the main alternative for rural development. One of the conditions for obtaining a good harvest is high-quality soil cultivation. A feature of farms is their small size. Therefore, it is necessary to use small-sized power units to mechanize the processes of cultivating agricultural crops.

AIM: Development of a small-sized traction and transport vehicle for primary soil cultivation in small subsidiary farms and determination of its traction indicators.

METHODS: A design of a small-sized soil-cultivating unit based on a walk-behind tractor has been developed. The proposed small-scale mechanization tool is driven by a motorcycle engine and is equipped with combined working tools: a cutter is located in the front, and a disk gang is at the back. A power analysis was carried out to assess the energy consumption of the proposed unit, including the resistance of the cutter and the disc working element.

RESULTS: As a result, the power costs for the resistance of the cutter and disk working bodies were determined. The dependencies of the total traction resistance on the unit velocity and the depth of soil tillage were obtained.

CONCLUSION: As a result, the operability of the proposed unit for primary soil tillage in small farms has been confirmed.
