The interaction of resiliently fixed tillage tools and obstacles is investigated using computer applications that simulate the dynamics of motion of 3D models, created in CAD. The design of a virtual bench and a dynamometer block, implemented in CAD SolidWorks and an application for modeling the movement dynamics SolidWorks Motion, is described. The virtual stand allows you to simultaneously record all components of the traction resistance vector (RX, RY, RZ). With the help of a virtual stand, the volumetric force characteristics of the process of overcoming a stump by a section of a modular tillage unit were measured. Four types of tillage tools were investigated: plowing disk; cultivating disk; sweep tool; subsoiling tool. In experiments, a 20 cm stump was overcome. Conditional processing depths for tillage tools were set depending on their technological purpose. Two types of interaction were investigated: frontal and maximum lateral displacement. The greatest loads during frontal overcoming of obstacles were experienced by a plow disc tillage tool. At maximum lateral displacement, the subsoiling tool was the most loaded. The results of the experiment showed that all the investigated tillage tools are able to overcome the stump with the parameters used.

The article is devoted to problems of forest regeneration and promote natural regeneration in conditions of wood cuttings down, in particular, the designs of tillage tools for primary soil preparation. Tillage equipment operated under such conditions, must possess high permeability and strength, while providing acceptable quality. These requirements correspond to the most ploughs-rippers with disk working bodies. It uses both passive and active working bodies, which brings the first disc plows and heavy harrows, and the second milling tillage. On the basis of the spent constructive analysis of existing tools their classification by drive type (with an active mechanical drive, with an active hydraulic drive, with a passive drive), method of aggregation (rear-mounted mounted, mounted on lateral faces) and to type of the safety mechanism (spring, hydraulic, without safety locks) is resulted.The tools representing various constructive types are in more details considered. Given their technical characteristics: variants of aggregation, type of drive, quantity of working bodies, the width, the diameter of the disk working bodies, depth of processing, type of safety mechanism, weight. The short description of designs and appointment disk rippers is given.On each tool the critical analysis is carried out and conclusions are drawn on possibility of its application in conditions not cleared cuttings down. Based on the analysis formulated the main requirements to prospective disk rippers that will effectively carry out basic preparation of the soil in conditions not cleared cuttings down at height of stubs to 50 sm in various conditions of the Russian Federation.

The article is devoted to the problems of simulation of the working process of a truck-mounted crane using modern computer-aided design systems and applications for engineering calculations. Currently, analytical methods are mainly used to model the operation of manipulator technology, such as “manual” compilation and solution of Lagrange equations of the second order, or even simpler evaluative calculations based only on basic concepts of theoretical mechanics. However, such objects consist of many parts that are in a complex rotational motion and contact interaction with each other. If such complex systems are modeled by the indicated analytical methods, one has to introduce a number of assumptions that greatly simplify the mathematical model. The level of its adequacy is low. Also recently, numerical methods for modeling mechanisms that are implemented through programming languages by using a detailed description of the process under study are often used abroad. An alternative to these methods is the use of computer-aided design systems in which numerical methods are built-in at the core level of the program and require setting the basic geometric, dynamic and kinematic parameters of the mechanism and the environment, after which they can calculate the functioning parameters of the object under study. The process of creating a simulation model of a truck mounted crane, which is an analogue of an existing laboratory setup, has been considered. To do this, a 3D model of the manipulator in the SolidWorks CAD environment has been developed. The creation technique and the main features of the obtained simulation model have been described

The basic soil preparation is an important factor in ensuring high survival rate and preservation of cultural plants. Its objective is to loosen the soil to a predetermined depth, it is also important to ensure the containment of weeds growth in areas, adjacent to the row of crop strips. Depending on soil conditions it may be cutting of one or double earthboard furrows (drained soil) and in the formation of microhill (temporarily waterlogged soils). For these purposes, currently, ploughs PKL-70, PRL-70, PL-1, PLM-1.5A, PDV-1.5, PL-2-50, PLD-1.2, etc. are used. Their common drawback is the ability to perform only one operation. A large variety of used tillage equipment and its low efficiency confirms the urgency of developing multi-tools modular construction. This will effectively produce basic preparation of the soil in a variety of conditions with a single instrument. The article provides a description of design and basic layout options of multifunctional plough. By simple changeovers, carried out on site, the plough can be adapted for the main preparation of soil on clearings with drained and temporarily waterlogged soils. It is also possible to change the distance between the bodies of the plow in accordance with the specified rows and rearrange them to work "in" or "out". Process works is modeled in conditions of non-uprooted cutting. The simulation experiment showed high efficiency of the plough, which is ensured by the presence of safety recoverable devices. Replacement in the forestry enterprise of a set of ploughs with one multipurpose plough will reduce total specific amount of metal almost in 4 times.
