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. Labour requirements and energy consumptions were determined in these methods. Consequently, it was found that consumed energy in Canada and Sarikiz bean population were 2121.81 MJ.ha-1-1866.41 MJ.ha-1 in the first method, 1087.73 MJ.ha-1-1050.25 MJ.ha-1 in the second method, 873.76 MJ.ha-1 -868.33 MJ.ha-1 in the third method, respectively.Keywords : Kuru fasulye, işgücü tüketimi, hasat-harman makinaları, enerji tüketimi.
