Why should you use ISO 6689?
Manual harvesting is slow and done using simple hand tools such as sickles and knives. That’s why mechanized machines in harvesting are used to increase the output of crops harvested and save time along with enhancing the quality of the final product.
These machines simply combine the three major harvesting operations: reaping, threshing, and winnowing into a single process.
ISO 6689 assists you in getting familiarized with combine harvesters and functional components of harvesting equipment by providing you with various terms and definitions included and used for combine harvesters and functional components.
ISO 6689 assists you by providing a basis for comparison of operations of the component and thus assists in enhancing the quality and efficiency of combine harvesters and functional components
