In order to harvest rice, wheat and barley, we designed and made the grain harvester, named E·54 and I·54 type, and the results obtained in field test are as follows.
1. In order to harvest the inclined crops, the operation of the reel, its adjustable angle and bight, is remarkable, and it operates as the auxiliary unit of a lay-out-bar on our lay-out-side-method harvester.
2. When the inclined angles of the reel slat (α) regulate from 60 to 75 degrees, and the height of reel under slat (x) equals to 0.7H-0.75H, we can harvest all crops generally.
3. It seems that the form of lay-out-bar with the concave curve along the rotary reel is excellent than the convex curve or the straight line.
4. It is necessary that the inclined angle of lay-out-bar (β) regulate from 20 to 40 degrees for rice, and from 50 to 60 degrees for wheat and barley.
