The test results of the combine harvester “Yenisev KZS-958” with a triangular caterpillar mover, mounted on the axle instead of the pneumatic wheels are considered. The formulaic instrument for calculating consumption components of the power developed by the track is presented. It is determined that the consumption of power consumed for the combine harvester track resistance with a triangular caterpillar engine is 8% less on the average in comparison with the serial combine harvester.
