A modern processor, depending on modification, is from 70 to 160 different settings concerning the work 30 work items, including the Reaper, tabledelete, a reel, feeding auger, straw walkers, active separation of the upper and lower sieve, grain auger, straw, etc. So knowledge and experience of the operator are one of the key factors of improving efficiency. In this regard, experts CLAAS on the basis of the analysis identified a number of common mistakes that increase the wear on equipment and fuel consumption and reduce performance.

So, the most common mistake is the desire of many farmers to reduce the height of cut during harvesting grain from 20 to 10 cm, However, is lower 10-20 cm of the plants is thick and saturated with moisture, so they are 10-20% reduce performance by almost 10% increase fuel consumption, re-hydrate the grain to grind and degrade the separation, and the quality of the grinding of straw.

Setting up Reaper and connected a problem such as setting the height of cut in the computer to below mud-mats. As a result, she begins to rely on the soil and, in fact, work as the blade of a bulldozer. In addition to the increased wear of the working bodies this also leads to increased fuel consumption – in some cases up to 40%.

In addition, simply reducing the speed of movement of the harvester from 6 to 5 km/h because of fatigue or uncertainty of the operator leads to the loss of up to 20% performance. In other cases, the speed of the combine is reduced from the erroneous desire of farmers to minimize losses. Meanwhile, ignores the fact that the cost of 1% of the lost grain, depending on yields and prices is only 400-700 rubles/ha and kompensiruet more significant productivity growth, i.e. further removed in a short time the grain significantly exceeds the slight increase of losses. According to calculations, increasing allowable losses from 0.5% to 1.5% productivity hybrid models of the TUCANO is growing from 19 to 33 t/h and daily life – from 220 to 290 m. Therefore, experts CLAAS recommend the most suitable watch cleaning from 11:00 to 18:00 – to increase the rate of acceptable grain losses of 1.5-2%, which will increase overall productivity by 30-40%.

High performance combine harvesters TUCANO is the main quality that I appreciate these cars Russian farmers and farmers around the world. But every unused cent performance TUCANO for its operation – is lost profit. It is therefore very important to properly configure the machine and use all its potential. It is worth noting that considerable help to the operators in the management of the harvester today is the CLAAS TELEMATICS system, which handles automatically the basic settings of all systems of the machine, allowing the operator to focus on some of the most important specific cleaning parameters allowing задействовать100% of its production capacity.
