Study on the Effect of the Type of Full Hopper Signalling Used in Grain Harvesters on the Time for the Grain Hopper Unloading

Abstract

The paper has established the length of the time for unloading hoppers in harvesters using a different signaling mode for full hopper: without automatic signalling - 245.35 s; with one level of automatic signalling - 224.5 s; with two levels of automatic signalling - 208.82 s and for harvesters unloading in the vehicle located at the end of the field - 301.46 s. Dispersion analysis has been carried out proving the effect of the type of signalling for full hopper used on the total time for unloading the hopper at a significance level of a = 0.05. Through it the interaction between the factor: type of signalling used on the time for unloading the hopper tp has also been established.
