The result obtained from all the efforts of the farmer for the year will depend on the right choice of the combine harvester. During the period of the harvesting campaign, this machine must work without failures, breakdowns and downtime.

And which combine harvester is the best, how to choose the right one, what you should pay priority attention to - further in the article.

The importance of the combine harvester cannot be overestimated

The cultivation of cereals, and especially wheat, has long been traditionally considered one of the leading branches of agriculture in our country. The income and food well-being of the country in general, and the successful business of farmers in particular, largely depend on the grain harvest in the season. In the process of growing cereals, the most important link is precisely the harvesting. Its success is highly dependent on which combine harvesters are used.

In addition, the time interval of the grain harvesting company is very short (harvesting, for example, wheat is only 14 short days a year on average). It is extremely important to have time to harvest the entire crop, and to do this work efficiently, with minimal losses.

Farmers prefer imported grain harvesters

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of modern, imported models of combines in the fields of the country. And to the question of which combine harvester is better, there is probably no clear, unambiguous answer. Obviously, it is necessary to select them according to the needs of each enterprise. But what you should pay close attention to first of all - for this there are a number of recommendations.

What to look for when choosing a combine harvester

Any harvester is a complex, multifunctional mechanism. It is very difficult to simply single out the only “optimal” characteristic of the unit, taking into account all the needs and production requirements.

But you can choose several technical characteristics that you need to pay attention to first of all when looking for a combine harvester.

One of the most important indicators is energy saving. This is justified by the constant rise in prices for all energy carriers. It is necessary to choose the optimal ratio of the engine power of the unit to the technological energy demand for the operation of the machine.

At the same time, the main indicator of the effectiveness of the combine is the amount of grain harvested per year. Just this indicator characterizes the capabilities of the combine, and how well the work is organized.

Additional parameters that you should pay attention to when choosing a combine harvester:

• - capacity of the bunker,
• - thresher width,
• - header width,
• - relative average grain loss,
• - reliability and duration of work,
• - availability of spare parts for the combine,
• - Estimated volume of work on grain harvesting (depending on the degree of yield and size of land).

Combine harvesters differ in the type of threshing and separating device (MSU). There are 3 main types:

• - rotary;
  
• - hybrid;
• - drum (keyboard) device.

Companies leaders among combine harvesters

The leading combine-building companies in the world are - DEUTZ - FAHR, FENDT, JOHN DEERE, MASSEY FERGUSON, NEW HOLLAND, CLAAS, LAVERDA, CASE IHCLAAS, CNH. Almost every year they offer new, more advanced models of combines that meet the needs of consumers of different levels. This explains the presence of a huge number of models of combines with different engine power from 150 to 550 hp. By the way, spare parts for combines of these brands are always available in our Art-Agro store.

Based on these indicators, some experts believe that with high yields, it is optimal to purchase a powerful combine that allows you to harvest 50-60 hectares per day. These can be for example:

• - CLAAS TUCANO 320 and 440, CLAAS LEXION 560 and 600,
• - CASE 2388,
• - New Holland CR 9080,
• - John Deere 9680WTS and others.

The most optimal in terms of the ratio of the specific average annual grain yield per unit of power are the following combine harvesters: CLAAS Lexion 440, Mega 360 and 218, Lexion 540, 560 and 460.
