Uji Kinerja Mesin Pemanen Padi (Combine Harvester) Tipe DC-93 pada Lahan Sawah di Kecamatan Pantai Labu Kabupaten Deli Serdang

Abstract

The low level of work efficiency and the high level of crop loss with manual harvesting methods, it is necessary to use combine harvester machines to overcome these problems.The purpose of the study is to test the performance of rice Harvester machine (combine harvester) type dc-93 with a land area of 0.1665 hectares. This study uses two treatment patterns of movement, namely the pattern around the edges and the pattern around the middle. Effective Field capacity is equal to 0.721 hours/hectare, efficiency of 67,63%, the rate of loss of harvest by 0.98% and operating costs of Rp 652.890/Hectares.
