| Summary: | 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. |
