In recent years, with the continuous improvement of agricultural mechanization, peanut picking machine, as an important agricultural machinery and equipment, has been widely used in agricultural production. The appearance of peanut picking machine greatly improves the efficiency of peanut picking, reduces the labor intensity of farmers and brings great convenience to agricultural production. However, when some farmers use peanut pickers, in order to pursue high yield and high efficiency, they do not hesitate to let the peanut pickers work overtime, which is very undesirable.

First of all, the overloading of peanut picking machine will seriously damage the equipment. Because of the overload work, the machinery and equipment will run under high load for a long time, which will easily lead to the wear and damage of parts, thus shortening the service life of machinery and equipment and increasing the maintenance cost. In the long run, it will also affect the normal working efficiency of peanut picker, and even lead to the scrapping of machinery and equipment, resulting in unnecessary economic losses.

Secondly, overloading will increase energy consumption. When the peanut picker is overloaded, it needs to consume more fuel or electric energy, which not only increases the production cost of farmers, but also increases the consumption pressure of energy resources. In the current situation of energy shortage, it is very undesirable to consume too much energy.

Thirdly, overloading will also affect farmers’ health. Long-term exposure to noise and vibration will have a negative impact on farmers’ health, which will easily lead to health problems such as hearing loss and nervous system disorder. Therefore, in order to protect the health of farmers, peanut pickers should not be overloaded.

Finally, there are security risks in overloading of peanut picking machine. When the peanut picker is overloaded, due to the long-term high-speed operation of machinery and equipment, it is easy to lead to the failure of parts, and even accidents. Once a fault or accident occurs, it will not only threaten the personal safety of farmers, but also cause harm to the surrounding environment and other personnel. Therefore, when using peanut picker, it is necessary to avoid overload work and ensure the safe operation of machinery and equipment.

In view of the above problems, we suggest that farmers should operate in strict accordance with the work requirements in the equipment manual when using peanut picking machine, and arrange the working time and intensity reasonably to avoid overload. At the same time, in the process of using the equipment, it should be maintained regularly, and the wearing parts should be replaced in time to prolong the service life of the equipment. Besides, when purchasing peanut picking machine, equipment made by regular manufacturers should be selected and used in strict accordance with the load requirements in the manual to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

In a word, it is not recommended to overload the peanut picking machine. Only by rational use and scientific management of these agricultural machinery and equipment can we better improve the production efficiency of agricultural equipment, reduce the labor intensity of farmers and promote the sustained and healthy development of agricultural production.
