This paper is dedicated to Tekrone composite material utilization in agricultural machinery. In terms of its technical properties, tekrone is very similar to steel 60 that is used for production of plough mouldboards and landsides. However, Tekrone shows more preferable characteristics, because its friction coefficient (kf) is 2.6 times lower in contrast to steel 60. This fact indicates that the draft resistance can be decreased by replacing the plough mouldboards and landsides made of steel 60 with their counterparts made of Tekrone. This science hypothesis was confirmed by experimental investigation results. Analyses showed that utilization of plough with Tekrone mouldboards and landsides instead of steel ones significantly reduces their sticking to the wet soil. This results in a “soil moves over plough mouldboard surface” process instead of a “soil moves over soil” process. The plough draft resistance was decreased by 13.6% after replacement of the steel equipment with Tekrone one.
