This article deals with the rules of observance of agriculture technology requirements for the production of potatoes in particular. On the example of the combine PDA 1.2, we have considered the places having the greatest damaging effect on roots. One can also find a summary procedure for calculating the probability of defective products

This article deals with the present level of harvesting and transport operations in the production of potatoes and methods of improving the operational and technological parameters of machines with which they are carried out by introducing into their design of innovative devices

The article deals with the theoretical base of the research work on the basis of modeling of secondary separation in a potato harvester

In the article, the questions of increasing productivity exploitation of vehicles and mobile agricultural technology by developing universal vehicles for inner transportations of agricultural products have been reviewed

The article deals with the questions of effective vehicles’ operation when in farm transportation of horticultural products. They have proposed the technical solutions to increase the productivity and safety of hauling units during their operation and to decrease the transported production damage

The research results presented in this article are intended to familiarize themselves with promising avenue to improve the quality of potato harvesters by improving the process of separation, as well as working bodies for its implementation

The mathematical model presented in this article is designed to assess the probability of occurrence probability of technological failure potato harvester according to the specific conditions and usage

The development of agricultural production inevitably entails an increasing volume of traffic and a turnover of goods. Therefore, the issues of increasing transport efficiency, reducing the price of transportations and improving productivity acquire great importance. In most cases, supersize dump trucks used for the transport of agricultural production have much more than 6 tons axle load. Thus, these cars need to have roads with improved surface to each field, which undoubtedly is a significant drawback. Because of the extra movements of harvester dump trucks on the turning strip at the end of the field, it increases expenses of damage and loss of crops and the arrival of heavy machinery in the field leading to soil compaction, that in the end affects the future crop. Transportation of agricultural commodities is most effective when the car arrives directly to the harvester machinery. Such vehicles must have sufficient abilities and capacity of the body comparable with the volume of a combine hopper and has no significant impact on soil sealing. With this method, harvesters do not make extra movements and are not idle. Basic requirements for vehicles used in the harvesting potatoes, are in a more productive use due to increasing the capacity and reducing downtime when loading or unloading and minimizing the level of damage to other tubers. For the transportation of agricultural products there is a different transport technology, which either do not fully meets the requirements of transportation of highly fragile product, or has a significant cost. Therefore, we require a specially equipped vehicle bodies, with a competitive ability in the range acceptable to the Russian Federation. As one of the innovative developments, this article proposes a tipper body of the vehicle for transportation of highly fragile agricultural products. The proposed design solution for the tipper ensures a uniform unloading of transported products from the vehicle body and prevents arching issues

In the article we have proposed a program, an object, a methodology and results of field studies of the improved potato digger KTN-2V equipped with the original device for separation intensification

The mathematical model presented in this article allows you to choose rational values and ranges of design and technological parameters of body separation, as well as their further optimization
