Explanation of Examples

2000 kg of grain saved corresponds to approximately 3 to 4 hectares in terms of contracting charges.

Reducing ground speed to prevent grain losses may even justify somewhat higher contracting charges per hectare.

If the operator or another person checks grain losses three times daily and achieves a reduction of 1 to 1.5%, only thirty minutes is required for this purpose.

However, 1% less grain loss means approx. 800-1000 kg of grain can be saved in an 8-hour working day.

Naturally, the combine can operate even more economically (especially when several combines are working in one field) if one person is employed specifically to check grain losses at all the machines.
