Abstract

The article provides a rationale for an improved technological process for transporting grain from combine harvesters (GH) by a semi-trailer-dump truck (STT), combined for field work with a tractor and a saddle trailer. The study of the most common grain transshipment technology showed a number of its shortcomings: - the need for timely access to trailers-loaders of trucks causes their downtime (up to 30% of the shift time); - the use of dump semi-trailers in the standard version is unacceptable due to the strong overconsolidation of the soil by their wheels. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the minimum specific duration of harvesting and transport work in the field is achieved when using a semi-trailer-dump truck with a tractor with minimal time spent on the formation of transport units. using a semi-automatic fifth wheel coupling. We offer a technical solution, which consists in the temporary redistribution of the grain mass in the back of the STT during its transportation in the field. At the same time, the STT rear wheels are partially unloaded and do not compact the soil, and the saddle trailer, equipped with wide-profile low-pressure tires, takes on additional load without significant soil compaction. The use of STT, operating in a semi-shuttle way in two parts: in the field and on the road section, increases the productivity of the harvesting and transport complex by 1.5 times.
