Abstract
The article presents the results of the operational, technical, and economic research on traditional and two different resource-saving technologies for harvesting grain crops: grain harvesting was carried out using a standard Deutz-Fahr C6205 combine, and the same Deutz-Fahr C6205 combine, which was equipped with a special high-cutting comb-type reaper. Studies have shown that compared to traditional grain harvesting technologies, the use of resource-saving technologies reduces operating costs by 1.26...1.57 USD / t, adjusted by 2...2.4 USD / t; Increases combine harvester productivity by 70–80%, reduces harvesting time by 1.7–1.8 times, and significantly reduces technological and grain self-seeding losses.
