Abstract

This publication presents an analysis of the operation of an active undermining assembly in the form of two symmetrical, oscillating feet, designed for machine harvesting of carrots. The use of the proposed assembly makes it possible to effectively loosen the soil layers close to the carrot roots, which significantly reduces the force required to pull the roots out of the soil.
