Performance evaluation of vertical conveyor reaper windrower.

A self-propelled vertical reaper cum windrower was modified and evaluated for harvesting safflower during 1993-94 at the Regional Research Station Farm, Raichur, India, and compared with manual harvesting. Harvesting time per hectare was computed to be 10 h for the machine, compared with 150 man-hours for manual harvesting. The postharvest, cutting and conveying losses for the machine were 0.05%, 0.47% and 0.23% (total loss of 0.75%), respectively and for manual harvesting these values were 0.05%, 0.02% and 0.00% (total loss of 0.07%), respectively. The unit cost of operation of machine and manual harvesting worked out at Rs. 34.69 and Rs. 3.33 per hour, respectively, and a net saving of Rs. 150 per hectare was observed for machine harvesting as compared to manual harvesting.
