According to the characteristics of garlic cultivation and original design experience, the half-feed and self-propelled garlic combine was developed which is suitable for main garlic producing areas in China. The combine body was configured on the side position of the chassis. It employed the chassis of 450 type head-feed rice and wheat combine, and equipped with hydraulic continuously variable transmission system. The main working parts contained the devices for stalk dividing, stalk lifting, stalk clamping and conveying, clod removing, garlic alignment and cutting, as well as the garlic collecting system, etc. To keep the effect and stability of digging, the combine had been utilized the working principle of combining digging and lifting. The combine performance testing could be known as: garlic loss rate was not more than 1.8%, garlic picking broken rate was not more than 2.1%, with soil rate was not more than 12.8%, combine harvester had complied with the design requirements.
