“…Similarly to tractors, cereal harvesters are technical means, which have a strong influence on the technological development trends of plant production. Several methods are known for the selection of cereal harvesters and development of the harvester fleet and these methods have been addressed by several researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. For example, the aim of the method of Bulgakov et al [14] is determination of the capacity and technical composition of the harvester fleet in order to ensure that all harvesting tasks are performed according to the structure of growing cereals, growing area's size, shape and agrotechnically optimal times and with optimal material and working time costs.…”

Tractors and cereal harvesters are technical means, which have a strong influence on the technological development trends of plant production. The aim of this article was to provide an overview of the developments of the cereal harvester fleet in Estonia between 2010 and 2017. For this purpose, the data from the Statistics Estonia, particularly the Traffic Register as on 31 December 2017 was used. The article points out changes in the number of agricultural holdings by the size class of the growing area for cereals; the number of cereal harvesters, including the number of new harvesters sold year-by-year and the preferences of agricultural holdings for cereal harvesters and distribution of new cereal harvesters by the manufacturer during the period. It becomes evident that during the last decade the cereal harvester fleet has changed a lot in Estonia. Harvesters dating back to the Soviet time have gone out of use and new, more well-known harvester brands have replaced them. The most sold harvester brand in Estonia is Claas, but New Holland, John Deere, Case, Fendt, Sampo, Massey Ferguson, Laverda, etc. are also represented. The average engine power of a harvester has increased by 50.3 % and the average width of the header has increased by 36.4 %. The information from the cereal harvester's on-board computer is being used increasingly for guiding the work of the cereal harvester fleet in order to optimise the harvesting costs.

“…The formation of harvesting costs of combine harvesters has been studied by many authors (Gunnarson et al 2009;Hanna, Jarboe 2011;Spokas, Steponavicius 2011;de Toro et al 2012;Singh et al 2012;Vladut et al 2012;Findura et al 2013;Nozdrovický et al 2013;Prístavka et al 2013Prístavka et al , 2017Benes et al 2014;Bochtis et al 2014;Prístavka, Bujna 2014;Mašek et al 2015Mašek et al , 2017. Some of them have focused on the characterisation of specific machines from different manufacturers, such as John Deere (Benes et al 2014;Prístavka et al 2017) and New Holland (Mašek et al 2017). For example, Prístavka et al (2013) studied the harvesting costs of combine harvesters John Deere CTS 9780 and Z2264 in their work during a period of three years (2010 to 2012).…”

This study discusses practical collection methods of cereal harvesting costs in different agricultural holdings in order to effectively manage combine harvester fleets, make economically reasoned decisions on the exploitation of combine harvesters, reduce harvesting costs and consequently the cost price of cereals. For this purpose, the author used work results of combine harvesters monitored by three randomly selected agricultural holdings, collected practical information on harvesting, analysed this information and provided assessments on the effectiveness of their combine harvester fleet. Evidently, not all combine harvester fleets and combines operate with the same efficiency, as their harvesting costs are different.

This research describes the result of study and analyze the working process of the harvester combine with GPS receiver and grain level sensor in wheat harvesting. GPS receiver and grain level sensor showed that the combine harvester was working with what level of velocity in the real time regime and how much grain was being uploaded into grain tank. According to results when the yield increased from 2.62 t/ha to 6.22 t/ha, because of decreasing the work-velocity of the combine harvester, the work efficiency of the combine harvester decreased from 1.96 ha/hour till 1.30 ha/hour, and grain loss rose from 2.03 per cent till 3.76 per cent. In the field where the weeds had covered 16.8 per cent, the work efficiency of the combine was 1.74 ha/hour, in another field where weeds level was 56.7 the work efficiency of the combine decreased almost 1.7 times, made up 1.07 ha/hour, the grain loss was observed that it increased from 2.1 per cent till 7.42 per cent. When the moisture of the cereal decreased it was defined that the combine work efficiency increased, however the rate of grain loss in the header rose too.
