The development of improved working bodies of combined treatment systems of heap of root crops will significantly improve the quality of their harvesting. Therefore, improving the technological efficiency of root harvesting machines by developing and substantiating the technological processes of the combined treatment systems is an urgent problem. The purpose of the study is to expand the functional and technological capabilities and to improve the quality of operation of root harvesting machines by optimizing the parameters of the working bodies of combined treatment systems. The analysis of the process of interaction of the cleaning elements with the stuck soil on the root crops was carried out on the basis of the study of possible deformations of the cleaning elements.
