Abstract:The productivity and efficiency of harvesting forage crops depend on the sharpness and quality of the mower blades. Therefore, studying blade wear during Alfalfa harvesting is crucial to sharpening and maintaining blades. This research aims to create mathematical models to predict the wear of mower blades and assess the wear rate of mower blades, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions during the harvesting operation. Blade wear was measured by the weight loss method and examined by scanning electron microscopy (S… Show more
