The article presents the results of investigations on a herb stem cutting machine. The basic target functions of the study were as follows: drive's absorbred power of the machine (kW); specific energy consumption (kWh/t) and average cutting length (mm). The levels of controlled trial factors were as follows: machine load capacity with herb stem mass: Q=0.5; 1 and 1.5 kg/s and feeding velocity of stem mass to the cutting drum: V=2.0; 2.4 and 2.8 m/s. The correlation between the variation of drive's absorbed power for start-up of the cutting drum, specific energy consumption and average cutting length, on the one hand, and the variation of controlled factors, on the other, was established. The respective adequate regression equations were simulated, describing the herb stem cutting processes with specific accuracy.
