【 摘 要 】

The loss of time during harvesting processes can affect the effective field capacity. This study aimed to observe and analyse the time that is lost during harvesting processes utilizing Thai combine harvesters. The random data was collected in November 2017 from 28 Thai combine harvesters harvesting Khao Dowk Mali 105 and in May 2017 from 27 Thai combine harvesters harvesting Phitsanulok-2. The theoretical field time, the headland turning time, the un-harvest moving and unloading time, the adjustment and maintenance time, and the bund crossing time were all recorded. The results indicated that the headland turning time and the un-harvest moving and unloading time had been the major influences that had been responsible for the increases in total time and had resulted in decreases in the effective field capacity. The times for adjustment and maintenance and for bund crossing had shown only minor losses.
