Abstract: India is the second largest country in world with population of 1.356 billion (Census 2017). Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereals and it is staple food for more than 60% of the world population. The performance evaluation of thresher was studied on paddy variety Mahamaya to ascertain the effect of feed rates(4.5t/h,5.0t/h,5.5t/h), moisture content (13%, 15%, 17%) and cylinder speed (15.54m/sec,17.27m/sec,19.42m/sec) with four replication. The threshing efficiency, cleaning efficiency, threshing capacity and total losses were 99.42%, 98.91, 2.5t/h, 0.4% respectively at the best and optimum combination of feed rate, moisture content and cylinder speed of 5.0t/h,15% and 17.27m/sec respectively. Self unloading system of thresher was design and developed by using CATIA V5 2014.There was a cost saving of 2.86%/h and labour saving of 50% over earlier practice.
