INFLUENCE OF THE PLOTS FORMAT ON THE PERFORMANCE INDEX OF THE SOYBEAN COMBINE HARVESTER
ABSTRACT: The intensive mechanization during the harvest operation and success of this operation depends on several factors, one of which is the length and format of the plots. The aim of this study was to evaluate the operating performance of a soybean harvester in different geometric plots shape, using as quality indicators performance parameters by means of statistical control tools of process. The experiment was conducted in March 2014 in the city of Uberaba - MG. Operational capacity was evaluated in the mechanical harvesting of soybeans in three plots: irregular, rectangular and trapezoidal. Performance evaluations of soybean harvester were made from the following parameters: displacement speed, engine rotation, cylinder rotation and concave opening. The grain water contents affect the quality indicators of the soybean harvester performance in all plots shapes. The harvester performance is considered able to maintain between the specification limits and close to the target, to speed quality indicators the irregular and the trapezoidal plots and for cylinder rotation the trapezoidal plot.
