Item BSES Cane harvesting studies : preliminary report(1977)The sugar cane industry in Queensland has maintained its prosperity by successful mechanization of harvesting and other farm operations. Farm machinery purchases now represent a significant investment decision. It is therefore essential that harvesters satisfy industry requirements.Item Regional adoption of alternative harvester configurations for sustainable harvesting efficiency : SRDC Final report BSS270(2008) Whiteing, C; Kingston, GThe project aimed to improve harvester efficiency in a range of crops sizes and conditions by:Item Evaluation of the chop-throw system for incorporation in a two-row harvester : SRDC Final report BS103S(2000) Ridge, DRThis report outlines a three-year project to develop a two-row, chop-throw harvester in conjunction with a Bundaberg innovator and evaluate its performance under commercial conditions. The role of the BSES in this project was to provide some technical input into cleaning system design, and to evaluate field performance. It was evident during this project that background research under non-commercial conditions was required to perfect the chop-throw device and design a suitable cleaning system. The various cleaning systems tried on prototype chop-throw harvesters were not optimised due to commercial pressures, and it is recommended that modelling of the chop-throw cleaning system be carried out to assess cleaning potential before further commercial development is attempted.Item A management assistance package for optimising harvester; infield transport productivity : SRDC Final report BS124S(BSES, 1998) Ridge, DR; Powell, JThe two year project to develop a management assistance package for optimising harvester/infield transport productivity was completed during 1997.Item Optimising rejection of dirt by cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS26S(1994) Ridge, DR; Dick, RG; Garcon, CAProject objectives were
