Subtopic: Calculation of performance parameters – field capacity, efficiency, performance index, application rate and losses
Question Statement:
A combine harvester operates on wheat crop yielding $4.0\text{ tonnes/ha}$. The cutter bar width is $3.0\text{ m}$ and forward speed is $4.5\text{ km/h}$. Calculate the crop throughput feed rate into the combine in $\text{tonnes/h}$ assuming field efficiency is $100\%$ during steady cutting.
