Abstract

In Uzbekistan, the areas of intensive orchards are expanding, in which branches are regularly pruned according to agrotechnical rules.

In intensive orchards, the number of fruit trees is usually greater, so cut branches occupy most of the row-spacing area. They interfere with many operations, so they must be removed. Usually, this work is done manually. True, some rakes collect cut branches and take them out of the field. The parameters of existing rakes do not always meet the requirements, so the authors proposed a branch pick-up that works satisfactorily. This article provides a rationale for its kinematic parameters. This branch pick-up also allows you to pick up short-cut branches in intensive orchards.
