Updating the technology for growing potatoes is an important step to increase the productivity and quality of growing this crop in Ukraine. Attracting modern machines and equipment from Europe can contribute to improving the efficiency and competitiveness of Ukrainian potato growers. However, it is also important to develop the domestic production base and provide support for local production and repair of agricultural machinery. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to systematize and generalize existing research on modern designs of root and tuber harvesters, as well as to determine their technical and economic indicators and identify prospects for further improvement. To achieve the set goal, the following main tasks are solved within the framework of the study: carrying out a review of the existing designs of root and tuber harvesters; analysis of technical characteristics and features of modern models of combines; determination of efficiency and productivity of various structures; assessment of the economic feasibility of using different types of combines; identification of key problems and shortcomings of existing structures; determination of opportunities for improvement of constructions taking into account modern technologies and requirements of agricultural production; as well as the development of recommendations for the optimal use and improvement of root and tuber harvesters in order to increase their efficiency and competitiveness. Research of modern designs of root and tuber harvesters and their improvement is an urgent task in agriculture. This work aims to systematize and generalize existing research in this area, as well as to determine the technical and economic indicators of their functioning. As a result of the analyzes and evaluations, conclusions will be drawn regarding the prospects for improving the designs of root and tuber harvesters, taking into account modern requirements for efficiency, economy and environmental safety. This work is an important step towards improving root and tuber harvesting technologies, which can contribute to increased productivity and competitiveness in agriculture.References
