The paper presents substantiation of the rational use of combine harvesters’nominal throughput when threshing grain crops with the yield ranging from 0.8 to 5.0 t/ha and over. The main factors that determine nominal throughput of combine harvesters and their operational indicators are identified. The structure andcontents of thetechnological passport of combine harvesters are substantiated, and the algorithm of effective determination of their key operational indicators, based on the passport, are developed. These indicators depend on harvesting technology, grain crop yield, the share of non-grain part in the threshed grain bulk, the coverage of swath headers and direct-cut headers, and the operating speed of combine harvesters. The definition of the term “technological passport of the combine harvester” is given. Maximum and minimum allowable grain crop yield is established for the rational load of combine harvesters threshing at the standard operating speed of7.5 km/hrecommended by the Ministry of Agriculture of theRussian Federation. The existing methods make it possible to determine the operational efficiency of high-performance machinery by operational costs. However, they do not take into account the shortage of human resources when determining production cost of the threshed grain. As a result of the research conducted, the algorithm and techniques of determination of actual grain cost when harvesting grain crops by direct combining and swath harvesting methods are developed taking into account the need in combines of an i-class and combine operators. Production cost of grain threshed on the area of1000 hectarescalculated by the techniques developed, allows to define the minimum estimated and actual grain cost for an i-class combine harvester by direct combining and swath harvesting methods.

The article proposes system research of the spiked cereals harvesting process by a combine stripping, when the stripping header and the grain heap clearing are performed by one harvesting unit based on a self-propelled all-wheel drive combine harvester with a modernized design and technological scheme, in contrast to their aggregation by conventional batch-produced harvesters, which do not provide the harvesting quality according to the agrotechnical requirements. The commonly used aggregation of high-performance stripper headers by series combine harvesters, does not give an effect from the technology of combine stripping due to such violations of agrotechnical requirements as grain crushing for up to 1,9 %, its direct losses off the combine for up to 1,5 %, high kernel micro-damage, etc. With the use of a system approach, the design and technological aspects of spiked cereal combine stripping have been proposed, the use of which will eliminate the disadvantages of the used combine stripping while maintaining the high achievements of this technology in increasing labor productivity by 1,4 ... 2,0 times and saving diesel fuel for up to 45 %. In the principles of improving the technology by combine stripping, proposed by the authors, the requirements for its subsystems are given, indicating the main parameters of the stripping header and the combine harvester that aggregates it for clearing an unwinnowed grain heap. The proposed approach will enable to accelerate the spiked cereal stripping technology implementation with a high increase in the harvesting unit performance by 1,4 ... 2,0 times and with a fuel economy for up to 45 %.

It is noted that the use of foreign experience and achievements in the design of domestic machines is one of the effective tools to accelerate the development of agricultural technologies and equipment. The directions of combine harvester improvement and innovations in their designs are given. It was revealed that the most powerful engines (maximum power of 581 kW) are installed on the combine harvesters “Ideal 10” (Fendt company) and “Lexion 8900 Terra Trac” (Claas company). It is shown that the engine power of the most high-performance combine harvesters reached 581 kW. According to the toxicity of exhaust gases, they meet modern requirements. It is found that the technology of selective catalytic reduction SCR is increasingly used in the designs of combine harvesters. They allow to reduce the emissions of toxic substances into the environment by 2-3 times and reduce fuel costs by 40%, as well as the use of natural gas as fuel. It is revealed that the efficiency of using combine harvesters is increased by improving the engines, threshing devices, separation, cleaning, thresher loading and process control systems, working bodies of headers and cutters.

The work describes how parameters of grain crop stalk mass, combine harvester speed, coverage of swath headers and fi eld size infl uence the actual throughput of a grain harvester and the feasibility of its nominal throughput at threshing. The nominal throughput of a grain harvester is usually taken as the delivery of corn bulk in kilograms her second to a thresher with the level of grain loss of 1.5 percent and the standard moisture of grain and straw. In a production environment, the throughput of a grain harvester of the classical scheme increases by 1.45 times when the straw content in corn bulk goes down from 1.5 to 0.7 in unit fraction and decreases by 1.16 times when the straw content goes up from the standard value to 2.3. By regulatory standards the actual throughput of a grain harvester can only be 10 percent lower than its nominal throughput. When choosing harvesting strategy and tactics in the farm conditions, the technological passport of the 7 kg/s class grain harvester may be represented as a nomogram consisting of four quadrants. The procedure of using a technological passport was developed by harvesting grain crops with the yield of 1 to 2 tons per hectare by the 7 kg/s class grain harvester. According to the calculations for the normal weather conditions and the yield range mentioned above, such harvester will be fully loaded only at two-phase harvesting, threshing double swaths cut by reapers with the coverage of 10 and 6 m, and at the maximum allowable operating speed of the grain harvester. The coverage of the swath headers for the straight combine method is from 9 to 11 m, so the effi cient load of the 7 kg/s class grain harvester at maximum allowable operating speeds is achieved only at threshing grain crops with the yield capacity of over 2 tons per hectare. These fi ndings can be used to develop operation process charts for grain crop threshing in each fi eld by the straight or two-phase methods.

В ней приведены описание конструкции и принцип работы разработанного копирующего стеблеподъемника очёсывающей жатки, а так же методика проведения и результаты лабораторно-полевых исследований по обоснованию его рациональных конструктивно-режимных параметров. Лабораторно-полевые исследования проводились на полях ООО «Русское поле» Пензенской области в соответствии с ГОСТ 28301 – 2007 «Комбайны зерноуборочные. Методы испытаний» на уборке озимой пшеницы. Площадь участка составляла 12 га, урожайность 47 ц/га, полеглость доходила до 64 %, отношение массы зерна к массе соломы 1: 1,3. Уборочный агрегат – зерноуборочный комбайн «Акрос – 595» с очесывающей жаткой ЖО – 7 «ОЗОН», оснащенной копирующим стеблеподъемниками. Потери за очесывающей жаткой определяли методом наложения рамки. Как показывают результаты лабораторно-полевых исследований, минимальные потери зерна (не более 2,5 %) при уборке полеглых хлебов обеспечивается при длине полозка стеблеподъемника L = 470-540 мм, давление газового упора P = 50-60 H и рабочей скорости агрегата Up = 1,2-2,0 м/с. The article is devoted to an urgent problem - reducing grain losses during harvesting of lodged grains by the combing method. It provides a description of the design and the principle of operation of the developed copying crop lifter of the combing header, as well as the methodology and the results of laboratory and field studies to substantiate its rational structural and operational parameters. Laboratory and field studies were carried out on the fields of the OOO Russkoye Polye (LLC) of the Penza Region in accordance with GOST 28301-2007 “Combine harvesters. Test Methods” in the harvesting of winter wheat. The area of the plot was 12 hectares, the yield was 47 kg/ha, the lodging reached 64 %, the ratio of grain mass to straw mass was 1:1.3. The harvesting unit was the Akros - 595 combine harvester with the ZhO - 7 “OZON” combing header equipped with copying crop lifters. Losses after the combing header were determined by the method of the frame superposition. As the results of laboratory and field studies show, the minimum grain losses (no more than 2.5 %) when harvesting lodged grains is ensured when the length of the crop lifter L = 470-540 mm, the gas stop pressure P = 50-.60 N and the unit operating speed Up = 1,2-2,0 м/с.

The aim of the research was to check the possibility of using and the justification of design and operating parameters of the proposed chain-and-slat conveyor of the feeder house for harvesting grain crops on the example of wheat. The research methodology included the determination of grain losses and crushing behind the combine thresher when varying the slat pitch of the chain-and-slat transporter (153.6; 307.2 and 460.8 mm), the speed of moving these slats (2.0...5.0 m/s) and the speed of the combine (1.2...2.4 m/s). The researches made on chain-and-slat conveyor of the combine harvester’s feeder house have shown that it can be used in the harvester’s design. The rational values of design and mode parameters of chain-and-slat conveyor of the combine harvester’s feeder house have been justified by laboratory and field studies. At a pitch of stamped slats of the chain-and-slat conveyor of 307.2 mm, a speed of chain-and-slat conveyor slats of 2.8...3.6 m/s and a working speed of the combine of 2.2 m/s, grain losses behind the threshing machine and grain crushing amount to less than one percent that meets the agricultural requirements.

The role and tasks of production logistics in an enterprise depends on many factors, as well as the appropriate definition of logistics. Development of the concept of supply chains has caused a broader view of logistics. The fundamental goal of production logistics can thus be formulated as the pursuance of greater delivery capability and reliability with the lowest possible logistic and production cost. Currently, the integration of production planning with logistics become more common in many companies. Production systems are special performance systems which transform input material into physical goods. As logistic networks supply the input and distribute the output of production systems, production and logistics are closely interrelated. Many designers still do not take into account the supply chain and does not use the system approach. Interesting approach is proposed as part of Lean enterprises. It requires a determination of value stream, then the mapping and improvement.
