The article analyzes the structures of domestic selfpropelled potato harvesters, developed in 60-90th of the last century. It considers their layout: based on selfpropelled chassis NL-45, NL-65, NL-75, K-mounted single-row and double-row 5B K-5A and KKSSH-2, on the basis of MTZ-142 Four-KSKD-4; specialized harvesters KSK-4-I, KSK-4A-1.We have disclosed the advantages and disadvantages of each of the structures shown the way forward. The analysis shows a general trend of equipment self-propelled combines cartofeleuborochnyh means to monitor the work of the working bodies and councils-ment process, as well as hydrostatic transmission based hydroficated bridges or motor-wheels to run on high-styah soon. In the arrangement of machines and their technological schemes trend-Uwe crease width, equipment storage hopper, enabling productivity-dit unloading products in a number of oncoming traffic. We consider the design perspective of modular self-propelled potato harvester BCSC-4K, consisting of technological and power module. Conducted owners-governmental tests combine BCSC-4K display-whether it combines advantages over KSK-4-I and KSK-4A-I performance and quality indicators
