Abstract

The purpose of the study is the theoretical justification of the parameters of the slitter for embedding manure in the soil. A slitter has been developed for lifting the formation, forming a gap along the manure strip lying on the field's surface, pushing it into the gap, and leveling the gap with soil. The basic principles and methods of classical mechanics, mathematical analysis, and statistics were used in this study. The slitter includes a rack, large and small cheeks connected to a soil-supporting plate with an increasing slope from the bottom to the top towards the small cheek and adjacent to the soil-supporting plate. A window is made in the big cheek for the passage of manure. The large cheek is somewhat pushed forward relative to the soil-bearing plate, and its front face is pointed. It is established that when planting fertilizers, the following operations must be carried out: lifting the formation, forming a gap along the manure strip lying on the field's surface, pushing the latter into the gap, and leveling the gap with soil. The working bodies of the dump type are the most acceptable for lifting the formation and the formation of a gap. The following optimal values of the parameters of the slitter are established: the removal of the large cheek is 710 mm, the width is 200 mm, the length and height of the window are 550 and 250 mm, respectively, and the angle between the forming and field edge in the horizontal plane is 42°, the height of the small and large cheeks of the slitter is 300 and 250 mm, respectively.
