Abstract
The selectivity of agricultural mechanization system in the new reclaimed areas must be based on anticipated performance. The most pertinent variable is the size or the capacity of the machine. A computer program was built and developed in Visual Basic programming language, to predicted implement field capacity. The data gathered during seedbed operations, planting and harvesting were used to provide time sequenced studies for equipment and operator productivity. Using data gathered in five new reclaimed areas were used to compare results from some field crops. Fields are relatively flat with straight-rows. The obtained results showed that the calculated values of theoretical and effective field capacities by the developed computer program were identified to that obtained in the field experiments. This means that the developed rogram is able to calculate the required parameters correctly.
