A Plow with Inclined Disc Knives

Abstract

The existing plows used in agriculture have large dimensions and weight, and also have low longitudinal stability of the unit. At the same time, they do not copy the terrain of the field well. A plow with inclined disc knives is proposed. The device, the principle of operation and the results of its experimental studies are presented. It has been found that the use of inclined disc knives improves the depth of the plow, the turnover of the formation, the sealing of plant residues, the stability of the stroke and reduces the traction resistance of the plow, as well as reduce the longitudinal distance between the housings to 510 mm. The optimal values of the angles of inclination are established: in the transverse-vertical plane 200°, in the longitudinal-vertical plane 15 °.
