Abstract Precision of the working height, or depth, of earth-moving equipment and other farm machinery can have a marked effect on the quality of the operation. The main factors affecting a machine's performance in maintaining the correct working height are its geometric parameters and the soil surface upon which it operates. The soil surface profile is defined by the “mean slope”, by the “root-mean-square” (RMS) of the deviations from the mean slope, and by the wavelengths calculated by Fourier analysis. The shortest wavelength with an amplitude above 1 cm was used in this study to find the effect of the soil surface waves on the accuracy of farm machinery operations. The machine's geometric parameters affecting its accuracy are its wheelbase and the lengthwise location of the working point (above or under ground) in relation to the wheels. A computer simulation analysis showed that the minimum deviations from the required height are found at the wheels of the machine. The deviations increased at the middle of the machine's span and rose steeply outside the span. The shorter the wheel-span of the machine relative to the wavelengths, the smaller the deviations will be. Smoothed surfaces have longer wavelengths and smaller deviations and as a result, higher accuracy of the working height, or depth, of the machines working on them.
