Assessment of selection and use of combine harvesters
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences- SGGW - Agriculture - Year 2015, Vol 66, Issue 66
Abstract
The objective of this study was a comparative analysis of combine harvesters, conducted on the basis of the criterion of modernity and the set of operating and technical parameters of machines offered on the market. In the comparative analysis of modernity, two harvesters were taken into account, manufactured by the same factory in different time periods. The study participants were users of equipment, who assessed selected features of harvesters, assigning specific scores to them in a survey. The respondents assessed positively the engine power, comfort of use, size of the grain container and performance of the newer combine harvester, at the same time indicating the negative features, that is, high cost of purchase and rapid depreciation of the machine.
