    For the purpose of labor-saving and the improvement of the working environment in greenhouse, a new type of movable crop-bed system, including the working machinery and the partial cooling apparatus was developed and practically used. The practical application test and the economical evaluation for this system were done. As for the result of the cultivation test using this system, the yield of tomatoes of forced growing for winter production was about 3.7kg per one plant, which are neary equal to the yield for usual growing. The total working hour required for that cultivation was about 374h/10a, which is only about 1/3 of the labor for usual forced growing of tomatoes. When the labor-expense is increased higher than 1100yen/h, it seems to be profitable to use this movable type crop-bed system.

    Trial make threshers equipped with the screw type threshing and separating mechanisms which were reported previously from part I to part III were built. These threshers were Model ST90 and Model ST100 in 1980, Model ST101 in 1981, the standard capacity type and Model ST102 in 1981, the high capacity type. In this report, the structure and functional characteristics of Model ST101 were discussed as a typical example of trial make threshers. At the same time, as a result of experimental comparison of Model ST101 with 3 conventional soybean threshers with the tangential threshing mechanism, Model ST101 was found to have a high performance.

    The model tests of trial manufactured blades with various scoop surfaces to cut soil block were conducted to estimate the characteristics of backward throwing of soil clods. The clods thrown backward passed over the rotor shaft in up cut tilling, but they felt down on the tilling bottom in down cut tilling. The blade with flat scoop surface cut and threw the soil only at the tip and did not give it so high initial velocity. To make longer the throwing of clods in up cut tilling, ρ should be smaller, φ should be larger and/or φ1 should be larger, where ρ, φ and φ1 were the design parameters of circular arced cross section of scoop surface. High revolutional speed of the blade was also favolable for the improvement of backward throwing. The experimental results described above agreed with the simulations by throwing model shown in former paper.

    In the previous paper, the authors investigated the characteristics of power performance of a small trencher with a ladder chain type cutting device.
    In this paper, some commercial cutting blades were discussed in their shape and dimensions, and then, the nine blades were tested in the soil bin in order to clarify the effects of the shape of blades on the soil cutting resistance. The nine tested blades had different tip angle and tip foreward projection length from commercial blades.
    It was found that the soil cutting resistance was decreased as the tip anglewas decreased and tip foreward projection length was increaseed.

    Practical application of machines for harvest, pest control, fertilization and inter tillage is almost completed in the studies, done since 1961, on a riding type tea field wheel type working machine. But 30-45 times traveling a year in row spacing under these operations, ground contact pressure is a problem to be discussed. As the optimum plucking time is short, plucking is necessary even under wet weather condition. Against these problems the resolution is changing from wheel type to track type which is superior in lightweigt and low ground contact pressure. A track type tea pluckig machine is better than any other tea plucking machines in good uniformity of plucked tea bush surface, less loss in plucking tea leaf and large amount of plucked leaf. Plucked leaf are conveyed by wind pressure into a picking bag, so leaf is bruised. But if only bruised leaf is processed on the same day, there are no problems.
    The running area per hour was about 10a/h in average.

    To put a rice drying with solar energy to practical use, in this report, the mathematical model of the rice drying and the solar drying simulations have been discussed.
    Firstly, a solar drying model was developed and the validity of the model was verified by indoor experiments, then the model was applied to solar drying field tests with a simplified air collector and a vinylhouse.
    Secondly, a mathematical model of the solar rice drying with the collector was conducted by conjunction between this mathematical drier and the collector. Using this, use the solar drying simulation could be conducted under optional geography, weather, collector, and drying condition.
    Then, an suitble solar collection area can be estimated in accordance with a quantity of rice to be dried. The simulations under the general datas were condcted, an a practical prediction formula of the mean drying rate was proposed.

    Small-sized Japanese tractors have been developed mainly for the use of rotary tillage. They have special three-point linkages, and differ from the standard linkage system. The basic behavior and the mechanical characteristics of the three-point linkage for rotary tillage are clarified in this study. The purpose is to obtain an instruction of the rational design of three-point linkage for a rotary tilling tractor.
    This report clarified the geometric characteristics and the basic behavior of the virtual hitch point depending on changing depth of tillage which is important to rotary tillage at the free link condition. Their actual tendency based on the specification data of small-sized Japanese tractors was explained. It will be clarified under the limited condition of the virtual hitch point for stable rotary tillage and the design instruction of rational three-point linkage in future reports.

    In dairy farming, much hot water are demanded over a wide temperature range. So, a compound solar system consisting of high temperature and low temperature system to supply hot water was proposed in the previous report.
    This paper describes the results of digital simulation to clarify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The compound solar system could be more effective under some conditions than the single solar system consisted of one type collector and one storage tank. Also, calculations on the possibility of driving a refrigerator by solar energy were tried.

    When pressurized air was supplied into a soil layer to break it down, the observed nature of soil failure was varied with the moisture content of the soil. This research was conducted for analyzing the differences of stress in soil induced by injecting air into the soil layer with variable moisture content by the finite element method.
    When the moisture content was below than the plastic limit, the soil was broken down by shearing stress produced by static pressure of the injected air.
    When the moisture content was increased (close to the liquid limit), and soil showed a high resistance to air permeability, soil was disrupted by tensile stress as if it was torn. This phenomenon was observed even if injected fluid was liquid.

    In order to determine the state of finish of cooked cocoons in the silk reeling procss, the authors conducted research on a method to evaluate the state of cooked cocoons by a simulation detecting the points of high tension force occurring unexpectedly in the dispersion of cocoon filaments' peeling tension as pulses. On the basis of the simulatioion, a measuring device was developed, and a study was done on the relationship between the distribution of pulses and the state of cooked cocoons and reelability of cocoons. The authors confirmed that this measuring device could be usable as one of the methods for determining the state of cooked cocoons in the silk reeling process.
