For soil tillage working elements such as cultivator point, spike-tooth of a harrow, subsoiler coulter and a harrow disc, the course of wear was studied and compared. Field tests were carried out on three soil types. The wear of working elements depended on physico-chemical soil properties and actual friction surface. The most intensive wear (by weight) was observed in subsoiler coulter and harrow disc. Linear wear was affected by the geometry of working element and mode of its action. Most rapid wear of the cutting edge was found for the cultivator points and spike-teeth of a harrow. Intensive wear occured on clay originated soils and the soil of high SiO2 content
