The purpose of the study is to study and analyze the physical and mechanical properties of the seed pile of fodder crops. The results of determining the physico-mechanical properties of the seed pile of fodder crops obtained in the combing clover plants with a comb of the combing drum of the harvesting machine are presented. The basic principles and methods of classical mechanics, mathematical analysis, and statistics were used in this study. It was found that the stiffness of the stems of the seed pile at a humidity of 40-60% is in the range of 0.07-0.008 N / m2. At the same time, with a moisture content of 35-65%, its bulk mass is 80-185 kg/ m3, respectively. The minimum value of the angle of the natural slope of the clover seed pile is 48o, and its maximum value reaches up to 90o; the value of the static friction coefficient at a humidity of 40-60% is within 0.98-1.02, and the value of the dynamic friction coefficient is within 0.5-0.7. The pile's temperature is directly proportional to the storage time; during self-heating, the appearance of the pile gradually changes depending on the storage time and temperature duration.
