Studi Kapasitas Kerja dan Susut Pemanenan Rice Combine Harvester di Desa Sukamandi, Subang, Jawa Barat

Abstract

Methode of paddy wet field harvesting could be done manually utilized sickle or mechanically utilized combine harvester. The objectives of the research was analyzing working capacity and harvesting losses of rice combine harvester A, rice combine harvester B, harvesting and thresher use sickle and power thresher and compare the result of analysis. Results of research showed that effective field capacity, and harvesting losses of rice combine harvester A were 0.486 ha/hour, and 2.013% respectively. Results of rice combine harvester B were 0.422 ha/hour, and 3.028% whereas effective field capacity of harvesting and threshing, yield capacity of threshing, and losses of harvesting and threshing were 0.006 ha/person.hour, 0.287 ha/jam, 1.550 ton/jam, and 17.087% respectively. Percentage level of cleanliness and intact unhulled rice use rice combine harvester A, rice combine harvester B, and power thresher were 98.3% and 97.6%, 98.3% and 97.3%, 97.7% dan 96.2% respectively, so that paddy wet field harvesting utilized rice combine harvester was more effective and efficient.
