When machine systems including special self-propelled winches operate on even on steep slopes, tracked feller-buncher machines work effectively. Therefore, to study the forest machines with caterpillar mover impact on the soils of mountain logging sites is quite relevant. The presented work is focused on laboratory experimental verification of previously performed theoretical research results. Taking into account the obtained results, at the present stage of the research it was planned to perform experimental research based on geometrical simulation (1:15, the coefficient for recalculation of linear parameters k=15). The original laboratory testing unit was assembled at the Department "Technology and equipment of forestry complex" of the Arctic State Agrotechnological University. As a result of statistical processing of the experimental data obtained it was found that deviations of theoretical values of the soil bearing capacity under the influence of the tracked mover were within 13% and did not exceed the limits associated with errors in the experimental determination of this value. Deviations of theoretical values of permissible average pressure of the tracked mover on the ground were within 14% and did not exceed the limits related to the errors of experimental determination of this value.
