<![CDATA[The rice harvest time is almost the same in a large rice field area and the availability of a small amount of labor is therefore required mechanical tools to replace it, one of the machine tools used is the Combine Harvester rice harvester machine. Rice harvester Combine Harvester ridding type Kubota DC 70 brand is an agricultural machine that functions to harvest rice through the stages of hooking, directing, cutting, threshing, and cleaning the grain which is carried out in an integrated manner in one process. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficiency of performance and the needs of the Combine Harvester machine needed for harvesting rice. This research consists of three main stages, namely machine and land preparation, machine performance testing, and data analysis. The parameters observed were the width of the complement of the harvester, the speed of advance of the Combine Harvester, the area of land harvested, the time of harvesting, the theoretical performance capacity, the actual performance capacity, the performance efficiency, and the needs of the Combine Harvester. The results showed that the working speed of the Combine Harvester was 1.35 m/sec. The actual performance capacity is 0.574 ha/hour or 57.4 are/hour. The theoretical performance capacity is 0.921 ha/hour or 92.1 are/hour. Combine Harvester's performance efficiency at 61.6%. The need for a Combine Harvester is 2 units for harvesting rice in the village of pods.]]>
