TO PRODUCE ENSIIAGE COMBINE -- Moscow, Moskovskaya Pravda, 28 Feb 51
Last year, final tests of the SK-1.2 ensilage harvesting combine, designed
by the All-Union Institute of Agricultural-Machine Building, were conducted on
kolkhozes in Rostov and Moscow oblasts. Series production of the combine will
be organized this year. The combine, when attached to a KD-35 tractor, mowed
and chopped as much as 75 tons of bulk ensilage per working day in tests con-
ducted in Moscow Oblast. The ensilage harvesting combine lowers labor consump-
tion 78 percent, reduces expenses 40 percent, and increases the productivity
of workers 4.5 times in piling ensilage in trenches as compared to the RKS-12
tractor ensilage cutter.
