Three combine harvesters at different service life (Fortschritt E514 has been serving for 25 years – Class has been serving for 15 years and John Deer has been serving for 2 years) were tested and compared to another mechanical method mower than thresher (one thresher has free knives on the threshing drum and the other has fixed knives on the drum ) compared to traditional method (sickle than thresher ). The mechanical harvesting methods were done at three different field speeds 1.9, 2.7 and 3.9 km/h for mower and combines. Also, three different moisture contents 12.1, 14.34 and 16.58 % were effected on harvesting, threshing unthreshing, damaged grain and total grain losses for the previous machines.
