Abstract :In this research it was aimed to improve different methods apart from manual harvesting requires intensive labour in dry bean harvesting. For this purpose three different methods were used for bean harvesting-threshing and these methods were tested in fields where two different local bean population (Canada-Sarikiz) were cultivated. I. Method: Hand pulling, piling, threshing by thresher. II. Method: Cutting by double knife mower, piling, threshing by thresher. III. Method: Harvesting-threshing by prototype harvesting-threshing machine. Work efficiency, total grain losses and some characteristics related to plant mechanization were determined in these methods. Consequently, it was found that total grain losses in Canada and Sarikiz bean population were 9.029-6.955 % in the first method, 25.279-22.301 % in the second method, 19.380-18.006 % in the third method, respectively.Keywords : Kuru fasulye, tane kayıpları, iş verimi, hasat-harman makinaları.
