Wheat was harvested on an area of about 30 hectares as part of the CLAAS annual demonstration tour. The yield in the field was 75.6 kg / ha, and in conditions of low humidity, this could create significant difficulties for the operation of the cleaning system, since there is a strong crumbling of straw during threshing under such conditions. Despite this, the adjustment of the combine for more gentle processing at a reduced operating speed of 5.3 km / h made it possible to provide a sufficiently high level of productivity of 3.46 ha / h with losses within the normal range of 1%. For comparison, last year, during similar tests of the TUCANO 580 harvester with the MAX FLEX 930 header, when the grain moisture was significantly higher than 18%, and the yield was 60 c / ha, the harvester productivity was noted at the level of 3.8 ha / h at working speed 6.8 km / h In total, 215.9 tons of wheat were threshed during the demonstration. The TUCANO 580 harvester was equipped with QUANTIMETER, GPS PILOT S10 and TELEMATICS ADVANCED yield measuring systems with automatic yield mapping.
