The basic processing of the soil (plowing), while remaining the most energy-intensive and long-term implementation by the reception in the technology of cultivation, is not sufficiently meet the requirements of the maximum accumulation of moisture and moisture retention, energy saving, and does not meet the requirements of the sparing effects on soil and the environment. In this regard, finding ways of minimizing the basic processing of soil without reducing crop yields taking into account the ecology of the environment is of great practical importance. Reduced costs of material, labor, energy resources in the system of tillage in crop rotations is possible when reducing or excluding certain methods i. e. the use of combined tillage tools that perform in a single pass multiple operations, if it has no negative effect on the fertility and harvest crops. Resource-saving system of cultivation allows to solve a serious problem: to prevent erosion, increase the accumulation in soil productive moisture, strengthen the processes of restoring soil fertility and reducing energy costs [1–4]. The article presents the results of the feasibility of replacing traditional way of primary tillage (ploughing), resource-saving methods based on the use of combined tilling machines.
