Abstract
ABSTRACT A new technique is described in which results from a stochastic simulation of mechanical harvesting operations can be used to select values for harvesting system design parameters. A low probability of economic loss is used as the design criterion, rather than the breakeven point used in traditional design analyses. The technique is described via an example of design considerations for a mechanical harvester for processing-type apples. The technique can be applied to mechanization analyses for many other crops and operations.
