This paper describes a design of the protective frame orchard tractors and tractor power up to 65kW for use in fruit production on sloping ground for mechanical harvesting (shaking) of stone fruits. Shown protective frame can be mounted on existing models of tractors, primarily domestic production. This paper presents an analysis of the stress state of the observed protective frame mode unwanted case overturning tractor. A common practice in the examination and approval of protective frames to be loaded twice the force of gravity of the tractor. Analysis of the protective frame was done using the software package SolidWorks gain and methods of FEM analysis. Ram is loaded with a horizontal and vertical force of 38,2 kN on the side and from above. The results obtained show a satisfactory security.
