Depending on pedoclimatic and operational conditions, different situations may arise regarding the coverage of soils occupied by grasslands with mounds, stones, low-value vegetation, manure, etc. Based on the degree of coverage with mounds, low-value herbaceous and woody vegetation, manure, etc. and the size of these elements, different technological variants are selected for mechanizing the operations of clearing mounds, removing manure, leveling micro-relief, aerating, and fertilizing the soils occupied by grasslands. This paper presents the results of experimental research conducted under operational conditions of technical equipment designed for clearing mounds and fertilizing grassland soils. The experimental results obtained in this study are used to optimize the working process, aiming to surpass the performance of existing equipment in the same category. The goal is to provide farmers with access to technical equipment that meets the requirements for adapting techniques and technologies for the rational utilization of grasslands in the context of global and regional climate change.
