ABSTRACT

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE COST OF COMBINE HARVESTER IN RICEHARVESTING AT KEDAH

A research was conducted to investigating the factor that effect repair andmaintenance cost of combine harvester. Combine harvester is use to overcomeshortage of manpower in agriculture sector. Repair and maintenance cost is the mainfactor in order to select a new or second hand combine harvester because the capacityor age of the machine may increase the cost of repair and maintenance. Commonmodel of combine harvester that is mainly use in Malaysia is New Holland. Theresearch was conducted in Langkawi and Kota Setar district. This research issignificant for the conductor or owner to decide the best combine harvester beforepurchasing. The combine harvester with several ability and durability that can enhancethe efficiency of the combine harvester in harvesting operation . Cross section surveythat is use to collect the data and regression and correlation matrix is the datainterpreted result in the research model. The distribution of critical parts have changedduring repair and maintenance cost activities are ground speed vari-drive (24%), shafttire (18%) and grain elevator drive (9%), for the maintenance in off season the partnormally changed are wheel, conveyor belt and pump bush track (10%), Soucy track(9%), and, straw walker and header (8%). Combine harvester need to be repair andmaintenance after usage in between 60I to 900 hours in seasons. The owner or farmerneed to repair and maintained the combine harvester to reduce the factor that enhancecombine harvester breakdown. This problem needs to overcome to reduce the lossesto owner of combine harvester. Machinery cost is the secondary highest cost after ownthe land.
