摘要

FIELD: open horticulture. SUBSTANCE: combined unit has frame, electric engine, reducer, V-belt transmission system with pulleys, soil rippers, hiller, hanger system, piston-type sprayer, control levers, clutches, and vessels. Drive wheels of combined unit are adapted for planting potato by pressing seeds into mellow soil and are made in the form of cells defined by wires passed through openings of small disks, spikes and main perforated disk. Potato haulm is removed by haulm grinder having casing, floating fingers, shear disk, knife, captive nut, and auger. Potato is harvested by fork-shaped digger with drum-and-screw type soil separator hung under power mechanism on frame through hangers. Digger has outer and inner casings, roller device, and drum slitter with strips defining helical path and pulleys welded within drum. Vegetable and flower seeds are sown by means of disk-and-blade type sowing unit having seed separator, seed guide, flatter, multisectional vessel, and plates glued to blades. Vegetable seedlings are dug out by means of screen-type vibratory trough driven through bar mechanism. Combined unit of such construction is adapted for cultivation of crops on home's grounds, in greenhouses etc. EFFECT: reduced metal usage, increased efficiency and improved quality of agricultural product. 5 cl, 13 dwg
