Abstract

Operational characteristics of a black carrot harvester with vibratory cleaning elevator were determined in this research. The machine is able to harvest two ridges at a time. The harvester was operated at 0.21, 0.34 and 0.48 m s-1 forward speeds over a black carrot field with pulled-off ringlets and cleaned heads. Depending on forward speeds, dirtiness ratios varied between 6.75 -18.42%, broken carrot ratios between 3.76 - 14.55%, surface wound ratios between 4.11 - 1.55%, drafts between 1203 - 1363 daN, bollard pulls between 2.48 - 6.41 kW and power take-offs shaft powers between 2.32 - 2.87 kW.
