| Abstract/Description: | Groundnut is conventionally harvested either by manual pulling if the soil moisture is adequate or hoeing with hand hoe followed by manual pulling. In some places, the field is ploughed with a mould board or country plough to uproot the plants. In both methods, much of the human energy is exerted, involving drudgery and fatigue. Even groundnut harvester and thresher have become popular among the farming community during the last few years, collection and transportation of harvested groundnut plants are becoming labour intensive. This situation necessitates the introduction of groundnut combine. With this objective, a Chinese made selfpropelled combine for groundnut suitable for harvesting and threshing green pods was procured and evaluated at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and at farmer’s fields in Tamil Nadu. It was observed that the average threshing efficiency was around 80.0% and the average damage to the pods was 16.10%. Modifications were done to the threshing drum and two designs of stripping drum were tested for their performance. It was observed that, stripping drum with rubber vane resulted in 94.2% threshing efficiency and 1.6% pod damages. |
