The use of transport in the transportation of agricultural products during the harvest period is evaluated primarily by productivity, labor costs and funds. Improving the use of trucks and tractors in transport operations is possible by reducing the time spent on loading the crop of cartofel and vegetables during harvesting by selecting appropriate rational technical means, taking into account the methods of harvesting and other conditions. Observations show that the transportation of potatoes and vegetables during harvesting is irrational. Elements of transport support for harvesting vegetables and potatoes are related to the technology of harvesting, the availability of technical means of cleaning and transportation, etc. the reserves in improving the transport support for harvesting operations include improving the process of recarting, which are primarily related to loading. To avoid downtime of transport vehicles under loading, movement behind the harvesting unit is recommended for use soft revolving containers, which are a container made of thread-sewing fabric with two slinging elements located in the lower and upper parts of the container. Loading is carried out by the method of smooth overturning of the filled container in the body of the vehicle. The use of such containers for loading potatoes and vegetables allows you to mechanize the process of loading the crop into transport vehicles in bulk with manual selection after the digger with the least damage to the tubers, and also significantly reduces labor costs for loading operations and reduces the time of unproductive downtime of transport under loading.
