Determining the working performance of different types of mowers in roughage harvest

In this study, working performance and fuel consumption of different types of mowers were determined in clover and vetch harvest. It was found that the lowest working performance was achieved with a double knife mower with an average of 3.17 da/h, and the highest working performance with 14.51 da/h at a harvest with a mower, regardless of the plant material. It was determined that the highest fuel consumption value in the study was obtained from disc mower with an average of 0.458 l / da without regard to the material, while the lowest fuel consumption was obtained from the double knife mower with 0,313 l / da. At the end of the study, when all the data were evaluated together, it was determined that the working performance value was the highest and the fuel consumption value was the lowest in the double knife grass mower when harvesting for vetch and clover.
