Development of Effective Arable Units for Dump Plowing

Abstract

This article presents the results of the development of a mathematical model and a flowchart for optimizing the workflow of dump plowing with the simultaneous application of mineral fertilizers, as well as additional crumbling and leveling of the soil proposed by the authors of a machine-tractor unit. The optimal power of the tractor engine, its mass, the width of the implement and its mass, the operating speed and the optimization criterion value - the minimum total energy costs for the process of plowing with related works (fertilizing, leveling the soil) were obtained. The technical and operational indicators of modern dump plows are analyzed and the most effective ones are selected. New directions of increasing the efficiency of arable units on dump plowing are presented.
