Reaper For Tractor

It is a machine used for harvesting cereal crops mostly at ground level. These are either Power tiller operated or tractor operated (semi mounted or trailed type). When the machines drop the cut crop in the form of a continuous windrow or in the form of bunches in the field for easier collection, it is known as Reaper Windrower whereas when these machines reap the crop, bind them into small bundles, and lay them on the ground they are called Reaper Binders.

Tractor Front Mounted Reaper Machine

The main parts of the reaper are crop row dividers with star wheels, cutter bar & conveyor belts. The operation is similar to that of the power tiller-driven reaper. The crop row dividers enter the standing crop and star wheels on these help in guiding the crop towards the cutter bar. The Star wheels also help in conveying the crop. The lugged conveyor belts convey the crop towards the right-hand side of the machine. Our Reaper for Tractor has 3 Point Linkage System.

SPECIFICATION

It has a cutting width of 1.6 m-2.05 m with 7 or 9 dividers and is driven by a 25-65 hp tractor. It is operated at a speed of 1.8-4.5 km/hr. and has a field capacity that varies from 0.2-0.4 ha/hr.

HOW DOES A TRACTOR MOUNTED REAPER WORK AND HOW TO OPERATE REAPER FOR TRACTOR?

The power to different mechanisms is transmitted from the tractor PTO shaft through a gearbox by a long shaft running beneath the tractor body to the front and with the help of a universal joint and telescopic shaft, it is connected to the gearbox on the reaper. The power to the cutter bar is given from the crank provided at the lower end of the vertical shaft of the gearbox.

The conveyor belts get power from two pulleys provided on the right-hand side of the machine, which is connected with chains and sprockets to the vertical shaft of the gearbox. The star wheels run in mesh with the top conveyor belt in rack and pinion fashion.

Lugged V-belts are provided on crop row dividers for grinding the star wheels. Two rows of crop retaining springs are provided between two conveyor belts. The machine is suspended on the hydraulic system of the tractor with the help of parallel bar linkages and a wire rope pulley lifting system. The precise control of the height of the cut is achieved through the depth control lever of the tractor.

 

REQUIREMENT OF FIELD AND CROPS FOR HARVEST BY REAPER WITH TRACTOR

 

1. Field must be fairly level without undulation to facilitate smooth operations and uniform stubble length. 

2. For small reapers & binders, plants must be grown in rows. 

3. Field efficiency of harvesting machine is high in large fields.

4. Water control in rice fields is essential to ensure that the fields are drained and are relatively dry at harvest time.
