ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR HARVESTING HAULM ROOT CROPS AND DESIGNS OF HARVEST MODULES

Improving the technological efficiency of the machines for harvesting root crops by reducing the energy costs of the process of harvesting the main array of hills is an urgent task. The solution to this problem is possible through the development of new energy-saving methods of assembly of the main array of hills and improved designs of hock-harvesting modules. The article provides an analysis of the methods of harvesting hogs and working bodies of harvesting modules. On the basis of the analysis, an energy-saving method of assembling the main array of the ridge and a scheme of an improved jerking module are proposed.
