There has been given the technique to calculate allowable feeding rate through set power of the base machine (a bulldozer) with hydrostatic transmission used for clearing pipeline route from bush and shoots. schematic circuit of the device, structure and dimensions of the disk ring gear being 2,300 mm in diameter to have been previously mounted as a module onto a manipulator bush cutter ASK-16 based on serially manufactured LP-19 machine. The worst conditions for cutting (diameter of bush stems and stumps of earlier cut woody plants) were taken into consideration for calculating energy-power indicators and allowable bush cutter feeding rate onto the treated (cut) shoots. Formulas to substantiate kinematic parameters of bush cutting mode have been give.
