Purpose: This study investigated the harvesting properties of the giant miscanthus (Miscanthus ${\times}$ giganteus) to measure the required mowing power for different stem conditioning methods in order to shorten the drying time after mowing and the bale density so that the crop can be used as biomass in the winter season. Methods: The required mowing power and bale density were measured using a power measurement device, three different mower-conditioners, and a mid-sized round baler under different working speeds and conditioning methods. Results: For the various mower-conditioners, the average stem length from mowing was 0.86-0.91 m, and the available working speed was 1.6 m/s. The steel roller-type mower-conditioner showed better stem conditioning but could not mow over a working speed of 1.6 m/s. The required average power of the mower-conditioners varied from 23.8 kW for the steel roller-type rotary disk mower-conditioner with a working width of 2.4 m to 37.2 kW for the flail-type rotary disk mower-conditioner with a working width of 3.2 m at a working speed of 1.6 m/s. The bale densities were $155.8-172.2kg/m^3$. The highest bale density was measured for stems with no conditioning and a moisture content of 11.3% (d.b.) mowed by the rotary disk mower. The bale density was affected by the mowing method because of the low moisture content of the miscanthus stems. Conclusions: In terms of the working performance and conditioning statue, the steel roller-type mower-conditioner is a better choice at a working width of 2.4 m, while the flail finger-type mower-conditioner is better at a working width of 3.2 m. The type of mower-conditioner used for giant miscanthus harvesting should be determined by considering the harvest area, workable period, and working performance of a mower-conditioner and baler during the winter.

In this study, we developed a fermented TMR producing system which could a continuous operation of baling and wrapping the mixed TMR. The baling part has fixed chamber of dia. 900 mm and width 900 mm. And the the turn-table type wrapping part is very compact compared to conventional one in market. The test result were: The absorbed power of the prototype in working was 9.0~15.7 kW. The combined baling and wrapping performance was over 20 bales/hr. The leakage in the process was around 1.9 kg for making a 350 kg TMR bale. The diameter of wrapped TMR bale was 900~950 mm, and its weight was 350 kg in average. Therefore the density was $718kg/m^3$, and it was very high density to the inputted TMR. The pH of the fermented TMR was 5.0~5.6 which was similar to the fermented haylage, also the TMR had no butyric acid's odor.

Bale is an operation of collecting livestock feed materials from field crop residue, and mechanization demand on the operation has been increased. Bailers imported from foreign countries such as Japan and European countries have been used, but those models showed improper performance in Korean situations. In recent years, a steel-roller type round baler attachable to medium size tractors(40 to 60 HP) for effective bale operation in Korea was developed. This study was conducted to evaluate field performance of the baler. For proper baling operation, engine speed was greater than 1,800rpm, average traction force and PTO torque were about 4kN and in a range of 380-671Nm, and maximum values were about 7kN and 3,000Nm, respectively. Performance evaluation tests for sudan grass, rice straw, and blue barley showed that field capacity was 0.59ha/h for blue barley and 0.99ha/h for sudan grass and rice straw. Bale weight, diameter, width, and bulk density were in ranges of 176.1~418.4kg, 1.07~1.12m, 1.02~1.04m, and 175.3~454.1kg/$m^3$. Noise sound level during the baling operation was 4dB greater than idle operation condition, which was considered to be ignorant.

베일러 작업에 있어 작업시의 볏짚의 함수율은 베일러의 작업성, 저장 중에 발생하는 볏짚의 물리적, 화학적 변화 등에 있어 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 국내의 경우 가을철에 청명하고 건조한 날이 많아 볏짚이 빠르게 건조되나 일기가 고르지 못한 경우에는 높은 함수율에서도 작업을 해야할 경우가 생긴다. 높은 함수율에서 작업하는 경우 필연적으로 베일의 질적 저하가 일어나는데 이를 줄이는 방법의 하나로 밀도를 조정하는 방법이 있다. (중략)

본 연구에서는 미생물 첨가제와 사일로 밀도가 총체벼 곤포 사일리지의 영양소 함량, 발효특성 및 호기적 안전성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 수행하였다. 미생물 첨가와 사일로 밀도는 사일리지의 영양소 함량에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 하지만, INO 시험구에서 lactate 함량, lactate와 acetate 비율 및 LAB는 감소하였고, propionate 함량, yeast 및 호기적 안전성은 증가하였다. 사일로 밀도는 pH와 lactate 함량에 영향을 미쳤으나, 처리 구간 차이는 매우 적었다. 이상의 결과에서, L. brevis 5M2와 L. buchneri 6M1을 포함한 혼합형 LAB 첨가제 사용은 총체벼 곤포 사일리지의 호기적 안전성 개선에 유리하며, 사일로 밀도는 베일 압력이 430~770 kgf/cm²일 때 정상적인 사일리지 발효가 일어나는 것으로 확인되었다.
