ABSTRACT Studies on the operational adaptability of slope corn harvesters on hilly slopes are of great significance to improve the performance and safety of the whole machine, but there are few studies on this aspect at the present. Therefore, this paper takes a self-developed small sloping land crawler corn harvester as the object combined with the special topography of the hilly sloping land and the technology adopted by the machine to make a mathematical analysis of its operational adaptability on the sloping land. Through the field test, the forward speed of the corn harvester, track wheel spacing and slope angle are used as the test factors, and the harvest loss rate of the corn ear is used as the assessment index to carry out the orthogonal test on the slope land. The analysis of the results based on the Design-expert response surface was completed. The results show that the ear loss rate of the experiment under different conditions is less than 5% of the national standard. The corn harvester has good adaptability to sloped land, which can realize the mechanized operation of corn on the hilly and sloped land, and has good agricultural production application value.
