The thresher should be provided with reflectors of suitable size and slow moving emblem on rear side. 4. The capacity of machine depends upon the skill of feeder. However, the input capacity of ‘machine was recorded as 630-648 and 430-460 kg/h for Cluster bean and Mustard crop 5. ual was recorded as 320-327 and 219-242 kgll for Cluster bean and Mustard crop respectively while output capacity was found as 202-206 and 116-128 kg/l for Cluster vean and Mustard crop respectively 6. The total loss on the basis of total grain output was recorded as 1.237-1.354 and 1.345. 1,846 % for Cluster bean and Mustard crop respectively. 7. The cleaning efficiency of the machine was recorded as 98,80-99.00 and 98.60-99.20 % for Cluster bean and Mustard crop respectively while threshing efficiency of the machine was recorded as 99.88-99.93 and 99.77-99.90 % for Cluster bean and Mustard crop @ Conforms) 8.
