Research into the process of soil preparation for sowing spring and row crops using a mounted cultivator KMN-4-01

The main goal of farmers in our country is to reduce the costs associated with cultivating crops, as well as the use of advanced technologies in the field of crop production aimed at increasing soil fertility and productivity. One of the main areas that allows reducing costs is the use of universal agricultural machinery, which, with minimal changes to the working parts, can perform various technological operations on the same machine. The design of the multifunctional mounted cultivator KMN-4-01 considered in the work is intended for cultivating soil for sowing spring and row crops and for cultivating fallow fields. The cultivator is a mounted implement; depending on the type of soil cultivation being performed, working parts can be installed on the cultivator, which are formed by various combinations - a chisel, a body with a left and right blade, a blade. Field tests of the cultivator for compliance with technical conditions were carried out at the Federal State Budgetary Institution "North Caucasus MIS"; based on the test results, comments were identified, after elimination of which the cultivator can be used at agricultural enterprises.
