In this article, the problem of the need to improve existing and development of essentially new beet-harvesting machines is investigated since the existing ones do not fully satisfy the agronomic requirements for the process of harvesting roots. The results of experimental studies of the improved beet-harvesting machine are presented. The technological efficiency of application of the improved design of the cutter of the remnants of the wedge was determined by conducting field comparative studies of the two types of denominators, which distinguished themselves from the constructive execution of the comb copier and knife. The surface of the reviews and their two-dimensional sections of the damage to the root crops and the number of cut root crops from the soil were constructed, depending on the speed of the root-crop modulus and the height of the root crops.
