MACHINE FOR SEPARATION OF CUTTINGS OF VEGETABLY PROPAGATED ROOTSTOCKS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A01D23/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the agricultural machinery industry and may be used for mechanisation of works in horticulture, in particular for separation of cuttings of the parent plants of vegetably propagated rootstocks. The machine comprises a frame (1) with support-adjusting wheels (2), on which a shaft (3) with an inclined rotation axis is mounted, and a cutting disc (6), blades (7) over it and a drive (5) secured thereon by means of a hub (4). The machine is provided with two weed removing units (8 and 9 (not shown in Figure 1)), which are secured through racks (10) by means of holders symmetrically to the shaft axis of rotation in front of the cutting disc. The horizontal cutting edges of the weed removing units are located below the plane of the disc rotation.

EFFECT: invention provides increased quality of slipping the cuttings of vegetably propagated rootstocks by reducing blunted capacity of the cutting disc and providing the visual control of the process of separation of these cuttings.
