Performance simulation of plant residues cutting roller and validation of its design

Abstract

The modern technology of plant growing is in need of change. These technologies require new agricultural machines. Minimum tillage and direct seeding technology should now be used now. These technologies require new technological operations. There is preparation of the pile surface for machining and milling or grinding of the grilles. The article provides an overview of cat designs. The process of grinding plant residues in the field was analyzed. The crop residues (stubble, weed stems, straw rolls) are ground by special machines. Not only do they mow the crop residues, they are also crushed into particles up to 15 cm in length and evenly distributed throughout the field. After such grinding, the plant residues are reliably covered with a layer of soil, even when cultivated with disc implements that are now widely used by farmers. The proposed method makes it possible to calculate the parameters of a cat shredder of plant residues.
