COORDINATING THRESHING AND TRANSPORTING OF GREEN PEAS USING VNBC HARVESTER AND IFA W-50/LAZ TRANSPORT VEHICLE
In the process of harvesting parameters affecting the time elements of threshing and transporting were determined. Then, using them as standard data, a model was worked out for farm conditions. The cycle time of threshing, the number of transporting vehicles were calculated.
Studies revealed that the method is suitable to organize green pea harvest but besides the mean seed quantity the degree of tenderness must also be taken into consideration. Transport possibilities affect the production area, the optimal number of machines working together, the rate of threshing, the timing of production. Regrouping of machines can improve utilization.
In increasing green pea production limits will be soon reached in material and energy. The high investment costs of modern self-propelled harvesters, also introduced into Hungary, require comprehensive, optimal utilization.
Our method helps to coordinate the work in production and processing to obtain high quality final products.
