Abstract
The milling quality of Basmati-385 harvested by John Deer 1055 R Combine was determined and compared with manually reaped samples. The machine parameters like cylinder speed, concave clearance and feed rate varied from 500 to 700 rpm, 15 to 25 mm and 8.7 to 17.4 tonnes per hour respectively. The analysis of variance revealed that the concave clearance cylinder speed and feed rate affected the head rice recovery significantly at 1.0% level of probability. Maximum head rice recovery (54.3%) was obtained at 500 rpm cylinder speed, 25 mm concave clearance and 17.4 tonnes / hour feed rate.
