In the work, the methods of system analysis have used for comparising several alternatives of existing plows in order to substantiate the optimal choice of a method for their modification. The analysis takes into account the discovered during soil cultivation in clear-cut areas fact, that share plows cultivate the soil well, but are not able to work in forest soils saturated with roots, or they require significant tractive power, which is not always advisable. Therefore, disc plows with good maneuverability and mobility are often used in clearings, however, the quality of surface processing is not ideal. Changes of existing implements design are required. The systematic approach allows us to justify the feasibility of implementation a new design solution taking into account several factors: expansion of design solutions, reduction of time for a working operation and features of using in the conditions of the Russian Federation. Studies have shown that a plow with forced working bodies possesses optimal characteristics, which, when processing soils in clearings, additionally loosens.
