| Abstract | Labor shortage is the major problem of soybean harvesting. Using of large-size combine harvesters were limited by harvesting loss and the preparation of typical soybean plot is not suitable for large machinery. The objective of this research was to develop a prototype of soybean combine harvester attached to a small tractor that would reduce soybean yield losses. A prototype of soybean combine harvester was designed and constructed for attaching to a 21 hp tractor. The important components developed were the cutting, conveying, threshing, and cleaning set whose size were proportionate to the size of the tractor. Performance evaluation of prototype was investigated in field trial. Results showed that in board planting plot, it had field capacity of 0.55 rai/hr, field efficiency of 70.24%, fuel consumption rateof 3.45 L/rai, total lossof 9.58%, cleaning efficiency of 96.21% and no grain breakage. In a row planting conditions it showed field capacity of 0.32 rai/hr. field efficiency of 74.59%, fuel consumption rate of 7.57 liters/rai, total loss of 18.86%, cleaning efficiency of 85.50% and no grain breakage was observed. In a board planting the combine harvester has higher field capacity and cleaning efficiency than in a row planting conditions. The rate of fuel consumption and the total loss were lower as well. The prototype can be used for further to development as a tractor-mounted soybean combine harvester for commercial purposes. |
