In the current conditions, one of the most widespread and important agricultural crops for the agro-industrial complex of Primorsky krai is soybeans. The products of the soybean industry are used for food, feed, and technical purposes, and are in high demand in Russia and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. It is known that the productivity of soybean plants is directly related to their location in the area of nutrition corresponding to the agrobiological requirements of this crop. The greatest accuracy of the layout of soybean seeds during sowing can be achieved through the use of sowing devices that provide a single selection of seeds, followed by their sowing in a dotted line with a specified interval. In this regard, the development of new and improvement of existing designs of precision seeding machines is relevant. The proposed design of a seeding device with pocket-type cells (patent RF No. 164890) has a number of design features, including the absence of auxiliary elements that ensure the entry of seeds into the cells of the seeding disk and subsequent seeding of seeds from the cells. The article presents some results of theoretical studies of the process of loading and unloading pocket-type cells in a seed-placing device with a single seed selection.
