Some work quality indices of an one-row potato harvester (tuber damages, losses and contamination) were studied as affected by machine working parameters, such as the travel speed, speed of chain web conveyor, depth and inclination angle of the share, amplitude of shaker vibration, gap between chain web conveyor bars and scraper position in mechanical separator. The investigations were conducted on light and medium soils
