COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE WORK OF VEHICLES DURING WHEAT HARVESTING ACCORDING TO THE CRITERION OF FUEL CONSUMPTION

Abstract

The problem is that in the absence of standards for the use of vehicles in the transportation of grain from the combine, these indicators can be determined analytically and used to pay for contractors and write off fuel.
From textbooks and other literature sources on machine use in crop production, it is known how to determine the indicators of the use of road transport with their known technical characteristics and conditions of their use in the harvesting of various cereals. However, we have not found any analytical studies on how these indicators are actually determined in specific conditions.
Provide methodological approaches to determine the main technical and operational indicators and, in particular, productivity and fuel consumption of trucks and trains when transporting grain from combine harvesters when harvesting wheat, which will give them a comparative assessment and better organize their work in production conditions. Consider this with a specific example.
