    The efficient operation of the harvesting transport complex (grain harvester – transport aggregate) depends on the organization of the transport service and the identification of the necessary means of transport is a probable task.

    An economically viable ratio counts combines, service vehicles for which minimizes the target function:

    Overview of pre-selection – transport complex as a mass service system.

    When machines are operating in a group, service requests are continually being carried out on a grain harrow filled grain hopper and after unloading the hopper, the combine is restarted and is a potential source of new orders.

    Thus, the "harvester-car" system is considered a mass service system in which a service request per unit time arises on average. We assume that the stream of queries is a simple (Poisson) stream that is ordinarily, stationary, and without consequences.

    The proposed model is certified with real data for agricultural cooperative in Yambol and the results show that for 5 CLAAS combine harvesters, is optimally served by three cars working in a group.
