The coarse feed provision to livestock industry is an important problem in Amur region agriculture. In order to increase soybean production, the areas occupied by forage lands are involving to be used in crop rotation, exacerbating the shortage of coarse feed. The solution to this problem may be the use of soybean chaff for livestock feed, which is left in the field after soybean harvesting. The peculiarity of soybean chaff is its low weight and porosity of bulk mass. At the same time, its feed value is 0.56 feed unit, which makes it possible to consider it an alternative to hay and straw. Many authors have conducted research on the technical issues of transporting the non-grain part of crop from the fields during harvesting of various crops. The small volume mass of chaff can be offset by use of large-volume bodies with a capacity of 25 m3 or more. The disadvantage of the technology with chaff collection is a fire hazard when storing in warehouses and in open areas. Also, when harvesting, preference is given to the transportation of grain, especially since the harvesting process must be completed as soon as possible in order to prevent losses from dead-ripe stage of standing crop. In these conditions, it is necessary to modernize the technologies offered earlier, taking into account modern realities: the introduction of automated systems, the development of unmanned vehicles, the use of GPS technologies, etc.
