Without harvesting machines to gather crops when they're ready, farming would be much more difficult and time-consuming. In the pages of this brightly designed book, budding farmers will love learning how these amazing pieces of equipment operate through clear and accessible language and vivid photographs of machines at work. Fun fact boxes add more interesting information throughout the narrative, while a concluding activity helps readers review essential concepts they should retain.
This book examines the driving dynamics of harvesting machines with large harvesting heads. It looks at how to efficiently use these machines. The author explores a common problem that hinders machine performance when harvesting with very large headers. He deals with concepts for reducing the undesired effects of vehicle dynamics when using these machines. With the steadily increasing capacity of harvesting machines, the working widths of the harvesting heads get wider and the headers get heavier. It has become essential with these giant headers to use header height sensors and header control systems to avoid the headers from being run into the ground when encountering elevation changes in t...
Harvest, the most critical phase of the farming year, has always required full mobilisation of resources for maximum effort during the short period when crop ripeness and suitable weather conditions coincide. Mechanical means of assistance were first used, as far as we know, in Roman times but the story of harvesting machinery really belongs to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
