| Title : | EXPLOITATIONAL AND TECHNICAL-ECONOMIC EXAMINATION OF TRACTOR LAWN MOWERS |
| Abstract : | Sawn grasslands are an important source of bulk fodder, which is becoming more relevant not just because of the increased overall demands for cattle feed, but also because of higher yields and better food quality. Mowing represents the first phase in managing green grass mass, which is to be performed within an optimum agro-technical period and in the shortest time interval possible. A three-year study of tractor lawn mowers was held in the Zeta area, Podgorica region, in the period form 2004-2006. The program included an examination of oscillating lawn mowers with two mobile blades, rotary lawn mowers with reels, and rotary lawn mowers with disc-shaped functional units. Researched oscillating lawn mowers with two mobile blades, with an average functional speed of 4.4 km/h, achieved technical productivity of 0.4 ha/h. Rotary lawn mowers with reels, with an average functional speed of 7.9 km/h, achieved technical productivity of 0.68 ha/h. Rotary lawn mowers with functional discshaped units, with an average functional speed of 6.5 km/h, achieved technical productivity of 0.77 ha/h. |
