| Summary: | Abstract. Forage harvesting is one of the most important operations in grassland
technology. Optimal timing and duration in performing such operation provide
better forage quality. Specific fuel consume was assessed by reporting fuel quantity
to the worked area and obtained working volume. Work capacity at shift time
depends on the effective work moving speed, but is also influenced by some
operation interruptions. In alfalfa harvesting and Sudanese grass harvesting, the
specific fuel consume varied from 0.23 l/t in Sudanese grass to 0.25 l/t in alfalfa
green fodder parcels. Forage harvesting fuel consume per area unit is bigger when
using machineries with inappropriate technical characteristics. In operating regime,
hourly work capacity is smaller than hourly work capacity in effective time due to
operation interruptions. |
