VDI-MEG Colloquium Combine Harvester 2013

September 12 to 13, 2013, University of Hohenheim

For intensive discussion of special topics the VDI-MEG colloquia are established since many years. „Combine“ colloquia have been realized in turns with Dresden at the University of Hohenheim in 1988, 1997 and 2005.
The fast development of grain harvest technologies, the optimization of assemblies, the ease of machine adjustment and the automation of many functions causes the necessity to review the situation and show the prospects for further development.
