Is a tractor connected to a working machine or machines. A tractor in the unit is a source of mechanical energy which helps the machine to move around the field, for example when a tractor pulls a cultivator.

Abstract
The chapter deals with a numerical simulation of a machine-tractor unit with an elastic-damping mechanism installed between an engine and a tractor transmission while fulfilling an agricultural performance (sowing). The mechanism is a complex system. The description of an elastic-damping mechanism shows all its advantages. There has been given a theoretical substantiation of a transparency level effect on a machine-tractor unit performance while sowing. The purpose of the work is to conduct theoretical study to identify the effect of an elastic-damping mechanism in a tractor transmission on working characteristics of a sowing machine. There has been obtained a regression equation and identified optimum parameters of an elastic-damping mechanism installed in a tractor transmission. There has been also given a substantiation of an expediency to install an elastic-damping mechanism in a tractor transmission for sowing grain crops.
