How do you know that you have chosen the right combine harvester?
This question baffles even the most experienced farmers. Your farm machinery works without interruptions, harvests grain with minimal losses and fuel consumption. If not, the absence of these factors will only bring losses. Every day of downtime in case of a breakdown will cost money.
Below we will tell you how to make the right choice and make a purchase that will make harvesting comfortable. You should start by assessing the yield and climate conditions of your region. These indicators directly influence the choice of the type of threshing and separating device for combine harvesters.
Types of harvesting equipment:
- Drum combines.
- Rotary.
- Hybrid combines with a thresher and a rotary drum straw separator. If the region has low humidity, then it is worth choosing a rotary type model. Drum combines are suitable for work in regions with moderate yields. The hybrid threshing device can be used in wet and dry regions. It features high harvesting speed and gentle grain threshing.
What other harvester features should you pay attention to?
- Centralized lubrication system – simplifies maintenance, as all units receive lubricant.
- GPS PILOT – a satellite system for assisting the operator. It was created to simplify the process of controlling the combine. Operation becomes precise, reliable and safe.
- The Quantimeter system is a crop planning system for the next season. This software automatically collects and stores data on crop volumes and quality and simultaneously links the data to geographic coordinates. This will make it much easier for the farmer to make the next sowing plan. What to do if the equipment works in fields with different yields? In this case, you need to choose a combine with a wide range of settings. An example of choice is Tucano from CLAAS. Combines in this line have an automatic relief copying system, which makes it possible to work on uneven slopes and difficult fields.
