ANALISIS EFISIENSI USAHATANI PADI SAWAH DENGAN SISTEM ALSINTAN COMBINE HARVESTER PADA PROSES PEMANENAN DI DESA PADANGLOANG KECAMATAN DUA PITUE KABUPATEN SIDENRENG RAPPANG

Combine Harvester is a rice harvester that can cut standing rice grains, thresh and clean grain while walking in the field. The aims of this study were: 1) To find out what factors influence the use of Combine Harvester in Padangloang Village, Dua Pitue District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, 2) To determine the efficiency of paddy rice farming in Padangloang Village, Dua Pitue District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This study uses a descriptive technique method, namely analysis used to reveal or describe something about a situation that is in accordance with accurate facts from the place under study. There were 52 samples, namely farmers who used the Combine Harvester and were processed using SPSS 26. From the results of the study, it was obtained: The variables of harvesting age, harvest duration, land area and labor partially have a significant influence on rice production. As well as the variables of harvest age, harvest duration, land area and labor simultaneously have an influence on rice production in Padangloang Village, Sidenreng Rappangdan Regency. of 1.73. So that from the three results of data processing efficiency it can be concluded that technical, price and economic efficiency are categorized as efficient because they are equal to 1 which means the Alsintan Combine Harvester System in the harvesting process in Padangloang Village, Dua Pitue District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency is efficient to use.

Comparative of the application of combine harvester with the traditional harvest at Tanah Miring District, Merauke Regency

Harvesting rice conventionally is generally done using traditional tools. Many obstacles on harvesting using traditional tools such as fecal contamination, reduced the harvest. This research aimed to analyze the use difference between the Combined Harvester-CH and sickles, either from the cost side or labors and efficiency. The research was a case study of the paddy farmers who used CH with ten informants consisting of the chairman of farmer union, agricultural extension agent, operator of Combined Harvester, and farmers. The research results indicated that the use of Combine Harvester provided additional rice production of 275 kg rice/ha and an additional income of Rp.3,570,000. The efficiency level of rice harvest using human power was 5.27 kg rice/ha, while the efficiency of CH rice was 11,29. The CH machines were suitable to operate on tidal land and in brackish water. Harvester traditionally needed high waged workers, while some workers were no interested in working in the fields. Cultivating farmers preferred to use CH machines on their paddy farming. Meanwhile, the formers worked as the waged laborers in order to supplement their family income. The cost of the harvest using Ch machine was Rp. 1,800,000/ha while the cost of the conventional harvesting was 4,000, 000/h. However, the presence combine harvester machine could not take the position of the workers as paid workers or the labor power in the agriculture sector.

Optimisation of the harvesting time of rice in moist and non-moist dispersed fields

Optimisation of the harvesting time of rice is significant for wheat growth and reducing the operational cost of harvesting rice in wheat-rice rotation regions. In China, rice grows in discontinuous and dispersed fields, and it is harvested with combine-harvesters provided by an agricultural machinery cooperative. The dispersed fields are divided into two types, moist and non-moist. The moist fields can be harvested only by a crawler-harvester, and the non-moist farmlands can be harvested by a crawler-harvester or a wheeled harvester. The objective of the agricultural machinery cooperative is to minimise the harvesting time of the rice. Minimising the differences in the operational time between different types of combine-harvesters is constrained. In this study, we proposed an operational model that considers using two different types of combine-harvester to harvest rice in dispersed fields with different soil moisture levels. Three versions of this operational model were derived for different types of farmland. Actual data from a village in Bengbu city were used to parameterise the model. The results indicate that optimisation significantly decreased the harvesting time of rice. The characteristics of the operational time of combine-harvesters are discussed separately to promote the efficient use of combine-harvesters.

Analysis of Linseed Production with Use of Flax Puller and Combine Harvester for its Harvest

The cultivation of linseed is an alternative to the production of flax stem, which is globally on the decline. The alternative method to the traditional harvest using the flax puller is increasing use of combine harvester. By this method the harvest efficiency will be increased, which represents a significant step to an improvement of economy of cultivation. Depending on the variety, the value of specific energy consumption was determined from (0.43 MJ/kg) up to (0.63 MJ/kg) if we use flax puller and from (0.58 MJ/kg) up to (0.86 MJ/kg) if it is used a combine harvester. Levelized costs for seed production in case of soil cultivaton with tillage rangein wide interval (9,714 CZK/t – 17,308 CZK/t) depending on yield of a variety and used machinery.
