Abstract: The efficiency of transport and technological processes of crop harvesting in the Amur Region depends upon a range of cooperating factors: state of traffic infrastructure and load bearing capacity of soil, amount of precipitation during the harvest, yield of agricultural crops, availability of harvesting and post harvesting equipment and transport at farm units and other variables. The harvesting of grain crops in the Amur Region takes place during the period of high precipitation, when the soil on fields has weak load bearing capacity due to excessive water saturation of the surface. The study in hand describes the results of testing of an combination vehicle consisting of the automobile KamAZ-55115 and the trailer NEFAZ 8560-02 and equipped by a trailing weight redistribution device allowing to increase traction-trailing properties by redistributing trailing weight between the driving wheels of the automobile and the trailer.
