Research on the Spoon-Chain Device Operation in a Single-Axle Potato Planter

Abstract

In the contemporary potato planters spoon-chain sowing devices are used, the main parts of which are the belt and stars; throughout operation they damage potato tubers, particularly the vernalized ones.
We recommend a spoon-chain sowing device without almost any flaws. Studies have enabled to identify the position of the conveying pipes of the seed sowing device, providing tuber’s transportation to the bottom of the furrow.
