Assessing the energetic efficiency of harvesting-transporting complexes in grain economy

Abstract

Under conditions of high and unpredictable level of inflation, fluctuation of prices for technical means and GSM, comparing assessment and adopting profitable solution on the composition of harvesting-transporting complexes (UTK) are complicated by traditional methods (direct exploiting or given costs). The most preferable is the method for energetic assessment of technological lines. Adapting the common methods to assessing technical means of UTK must consist in confrontation of fuel-energy costs at different functioning: grain harvesting by combines, bringing it to changeable back-collectors, established at the edge of the field, as well as till the point of after harvest grain processing (barnyard). It is determined that with increasing length of the route the costs of total energy are shortened by combines, but increased by transferrers; during servicing the combines Sk-5 “Niva” the minimum of costs is insured by UTK with transferrer PP3-6, aggregated with tractor MTZ-82.
