Global trends in the improvement of combine harvesters

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