Experimental study results on optimizing the characteristics and working modes of the forest-fire unit with the face cutter

The experimental research results of the forest-fireunit with the face cutter based on the selfpropelled chassis T-16Mare presented in the article. The optimum values of the unit movement velocity, the working body rotation frequency, the cutter radius on the knife edge, their number, the parameters of the back angle of the knife set relative to the milling disk, as well as the parameters of the inclination angle of the knife cutting edge relative to the disc plane are considered.
