Abstract
The results of tests of feed-harvesting combines of domestic and foreign manufacturers for the last ten years are presented. Recommendations on the choice of the studied equipment are given.
Highlights
Forage production and crop production are the fundamental sectors of agriculture, which determine the state of the country's food security, as well as the state of animal husbandry and it have a significant impact on solving the problems of stabilization and biologization of agriculture, increasing soil fertility and environmental protection
The combines produced by the manufacturer Rostselmash can serve as an example for the fodder production industry: in addition to the serially produced and successfully proven DON 680M, this is the line of self-propelled fodder harvesters: RSM 1401/1403, RSM F 2650 and RSM F 1300, and in the silo harvesting season of 2018, this enterprise plans to submit to the FGBU TsCh II for the qualification tests of a self-propelled forage harvester RSM F 2550 with an installed 400 kW (544 hp) imported engine
For small and medium-sized businesses, this manufacturer except DON 680M, equipped with a YaMZ-238DK-1 engine with a power of 213 kW or 290 hp offers RSM F 1300 with a motor installation of domestic production YMZ-238 with a power of 243 kW or 330 hp These forage harvesters are designed for cutting maize in any phase of ripeness of grain, sorghum, sunflower, other tall stem crops, mowing of seeded and natural grasses with simultaneous grinding and loading into vehicles
Summary
Forage production and crop production are the fundamental sectors of agriculture, which determine the state of the country's food security, as well as the state of animal husbandry and it have a significant impact on solving the problems of stabilization and biologization of agriculture, increasing soil fertility and environmental protection. In the Kurskiy region farms from February 2018, There were 197 self-propelled forage harvesters, 45 were foreign, i.e. 152 combines were domestic, 80% are combine harvesters produced by Rostselmash Combine Plant. The share of imported (foreign) forage combines is 22.8%; if two years ago the share of foreign combines was 22.2%, by February 2018 this value is already 29.8%. All this to some extent, but especially the need to produce its own domestic and given the demand of agricultural producers, gave impetus to the design organization Rostselmash Combine Plant for the development of new high-performance fodder harvesting machines
