Development of deep-placement fertiliser applicator and modelling of loads arising in the process of its operation

The article considers the method of minimum tillage, namely soil tillage, loosening the soil, and fertiliser application at a depth below the level of the main crop. This method allows you to minimize the number of operations used in the cultivation of row crops such as soybeans, wheat, and others. The research in the area of soil tillage, namely the mathematical calculation and static analysis performed with the CAD system, revealed the loads that appear directly in the places where the soil deepener is attached to the frame of the supporting structure. Also, it shows all the places that can be subjected to loads such as the rear wall of the soil deepening tillage stand', the attachment point of the tine coulter, and directly the spreading plate used for uniform fertiliser application. The calculated loads for soil deepeners were 2500 N per tool, based on mathematical calculations. CAD modelling enabled us to determine the form and details of the working tool, analyse the design integrity, identify structural deformations, and determine important indicators such as maximum load and safety factors. The obtained values indicate that the selected materials and fastening methods will satisfy the operating conditions obtained by calculation.
