The results of the study of the cutter of the remains of root crops haulm

Fodder beet pulp is harvested separately using the principle of cutting it at the root. The agrophysical characteristics of root crops (location of their heads relative to the soil surface) greatly affect the process of separating the remains of the pulp from the heads. At the same time, it is advisable to carry out the technological process of collecting scallions in a combined (two-stage) way. It combines the cutting of the main mass of the gorse and the subsequent removal of the remains of the gorse from the heads of root crops with cutters of the «passive copier-passive knife» type. The aim of the research is to increase the functional indicators of the gorse-harvesting modules by developing improved working bodies for cutting the gorse. The article provides a description of the technological process of the improved cutter for the remnants of hemlock and the results of comparative experimental studies of three designs of cutters.
