Machine for planting potatoes. (1984)

The seed potatoes are poured into the planting machine.

A potato planting machine is driving through the field.

Furrow closure operation.

The teacher tells the students of the vocational school about the design of the hopper with a feeding bucket.

The hopper is a container with a bottom slope towards the feeding bucket.

Shaking flaps on the bottom, the back wall is spring-loaded.

To regulate the intake of tubers into the nutrient bucket, the windows of its front wall are equipped with a flap.

The bucket feeder is designed for uninterrupted and uniform feeding of tubers.

The operation of the flaps, agitators and augers prevents the stagnation of tubers in the feeder bucket.

Adjustable sidewalls and flaps guide the tubers to the spoon-planting apparatus.

Students bring a landing device for consideration and mount it on the axis of the landing device.

In a four-row potato planter, the adjacent ends of the axis are connected to each other by a connecting roller and coupling couplings.

The driven sprocket of the drive of the landing vehicles, the drives of the tow-raising vehicles, the drive of the augers and agitators is installed on the shafts.

The work of the disk to capture tubers.

The teacher tells and shows how the coulter group is attached.

Components of the coulter group.

A Tukovysevy apparatus is an apparatus for applying fertilizers simultaneously with planting potatoes.

Preparing the planters for work.

Set the correct position of the coulters.

Check the parallelism and the distance between the coulters.

The final adjustment of the planting mechanism is carried out in the field, taking into account the state of the soil.

During the first pass of the planters, the rate of planting tubers is determined.

If the actual density of planting tubers per hectare does not coincide with agrotechnical standards, then change the asterisk on the gearbox with a different number of teeth.

The distance from the top of the ridge to the top of the tuber is measured.

The wheels are adjustable.

During the second and third passes, the operation of the hydromarkers is checked and other adjustments are made.

To increase the productivity of potato planters, add-ons are used to the hopper, increasing their capacity.

For balance, an additional load is hung on the tractor.

To get rid of the manual loading of the towering cans, they were replaced with a common hopper.

Dump trucks with a lifting body are widely used.

In the Non-Chernozem strip, cutting ridges, fertilizing and planting are trying to be done at the same time.

Potato planters working on modern technology.

They are equipped with lifting hoppers, with the number of seeding machines from 4-8.
