Hay tedding, raking and handling machinery

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers factory manufacture of complete tractor-mounted or trailed hay tedders, rotary or wheel rakes, and non-cutting machines that rearrange loose mown forage into swaths, including combined tedder-rakes. It covers mechanical crop handling within that operation, not storage or transport. Exclude grass cutting, mower-conditioners, balers, bale wrappers, forage harvesters, forage wagons, tractors, standalone replacement parts, crop production, field use, maintenance and end of life. A representative route purchases finished spring tines and drive components, fabricates structures when done on site, finishes them where applicable, assembles the configured machine and tests it at the factory. KUHN and KRONE sources demonstrate configuration examples; they do not establish a universal bill of materials, mandatory production route, weight or lifetime. Manufacturer use-performance claims do not define this manufacturing reference.

Declare every required qualifier in the data package. Measure M for the complete accepted configuration, excluding tractor, loose spare parts and transport packaging; catalogue mass is not a weighing record. This reference is a manufacturing normalization unit, not a comparative functional unit for haymaking service.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_mass	reference product	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	M = accepted net mass of one complete machine of the same configuration in kg; collect using cp_mass.
energy_preservation	electricity_fabrication; electricity_finishing; electricity_assembly	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	MJ	Preserve electrical energy; retain metered kWh and use the exact identity 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Do not convert energy to mass. All three selected flows are below 1 kV consumer supply.
water_property	tap_water; groundwater	Mass for tap water; Volume for groundwater	kg; m3	Delivered tap water is a mass-reference product; convert volume readings only with retained density evidence. Groundwater withdrawal remains m3. Do not substitute wastewater or delivered water for a resource withdrawal.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Delivered specified stock and finished components at the machine factory; actual incoming condition, supplier gate and transport disclosed.
starting_condition_role	Inputs to a foreground manufacturing module; upstream production is represented by separately linked datasets.
product_classification_scope	Non-cutting hay tedding, raking and swath handling within CPC 3.0 44124; classification is context, not identity.
recursive_input_rule	Record a purchased complete machine in the same category as a separate input with its supplier dataset; do not recursively reapply this foreground. Disclose reuse or remanufacture as a different route.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Match supplier product state, component completeness, material grade and electricity voltage/geography; disclose unavailable links and avoid embodied-material duplication.
disclosure	Declare factory gate, all actual operations, outsourced work, packaging, transport and overhead allocation. A foreground module is not complete cradle-to-gate until compatible upstream and treatment/transport links are demonstrated.

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
boundary_factory	factory_gate	Collect receipt inspection, site cutting/forming/drilling/welding, applicable cleaning/coating/curing, component fitting, adjustment, rework, factory tests and dispatch protection through acceptance. Include only actual operations supported by cp_configuration; field use and crop production are outside.
boundary_purchased	purchased_components	Finished purchased tines and gearboxes carry upstream production. If manufactured on site, replace the finished-component input with individual material and operation exchanges, retaining thermal treatment and finishing evidence.	kuhn-hay-parts; krone-vendro
boundary_expand	actual_route	These cards are an initialization for a documented route, not a complete universal bill of materials. Add each actual grade of stock, purchased rotor, wheel rim, nut, hose, valve, belt, cleaning chemical, coolant, fuel, waste and measured emission as a separate atomic row when present. Missing an actual exchange is a completeness gap, not zero.

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
fabrication	Frame and structural fabrication	conditional	On-site cutting, forming, drilling, machining or welding for this configuration	Foreground manufacture; internal transfers remain inside the combined factory module	per 1 kg reference flow; collected per one accepted finished machine
finishing	Surface preparation and powder finishing	conditional	On-site surface preparation or powder coating; electric curing route where used	Foreground manufacture; internal transfers remain inside the combined factory module	per 1 kg reference flow; collected per one accepted finished machine
assembly	Configured assembly and factory acceptance	required	Every accepted complete machine	Foreground manufacture; internal transfers remain inside the combined factory module	per 1 kg reference flow; collected per one accepted finished machine
packout	Factory dispatch protection	conditional	Packaging protection is applied at this factory gate	Foreground manufacture; internal transfers remain inside the combined factory module	per 1 kg reference flow; collected per one accepted finished machine

The operation ledger below is followed only for operations performed at the declared factory. A purchased finished component replaces its upstream operations; transfers of work in progress are reconciled internally.

Operation	Stage	Foreground collection and inclusion
Receiving and inspection	fabrication; assembly	Record supplier part/stock state, transport and receipt losses; trace to configuration before issue.
Cutting	fabrication	If site-performed, record sheet/tube issue, cutting electricity and weighed offcuts; retain cut plan.
Bending and forming	fabrication	If site-performed, trace cut blanks through forming, record equipment electricity and rejects separately from cutting.
Drilling and machining	fabrication	If site-performed, record operation time, electricity, chips and each actual cutting-fluid formulation; do not assume dry machining.
Welding and grinding	fabrication	If site-performed, record weld route, individual wire/gas inputs, energy, rework, collected dust and only monitored air releases.
Cleaning and preparation	finishing	If site-performed, distinguish dry preparation from wet cleaning; record each reagent, water source, bath renewals and waste destination.
Powder application and curing	finishing	If site-performed, retain coating formulation, powder issue/recovery, curing energy and solid overspray; another finish needs separate exchanges.
Assembly and adjustment	assembly	Record configured rotor/tine, drive, wheel, mounting, guarding and option installation against BOM, with torque/alignment evidence.
Acceptance and rework	assembly	Record guarded drive/rotor checks and hydraulic folding checks where fitted; measure net M after acceptance; include attributable failed tests and rework.
Dispatch protection	packout	If used, record each packaging item; exclude it from M and document the final factory gate.

The factory module combines these stages; intermediate frames and coated parts are internal transfers, not additional reference outputs. Reconcile stage ledgers and prevent double counting site energy. Supplier-delivered component alternatives are mutually exclusive with in-house manufacture for the same item. Record documented absence or an additional route instead of filling a conditional row with an assumed amount.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
allocation_measure	shared_operations	Under cp_energy and cp_material, first separate by work order, meter and actual component routing. Where separation is infeasible, use recorded machine/tool time for energy and weighed stock/component issues for material; document the physical driver, covered products and reconciliation to total records. No equal-by-count allocation across dissimilar machine configurations without evidence.
allocation_scrap	waste_outputs	Retain measured waste outputs and disclose treatment links separately; do not assume substitution credits or negative steel inputs from scrap sale. If a scrap stream is declared a saleable co-product, report its status and allocation separately with evidence and sensitivity; this PCR fixes no market-value ratio.

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Data Collection Protocols

protocol_id	process_id	flow_role	record_type	raw_fields	collection_method	unit	frequency	temporal_coverage	site_scope	aggregation_rule	quality_evidence
cp_mass	assembly	finished_machine	weighing	model; configuration; serial number; accepted net mass M	Weigh the accepted complete machine on a calibrated scale, excluding transport packaging; reconcile the same configuration and acceptance record.	kg	each represented configuration and acceptance lot	same production period	final acceptance station	accepted net mass per machine	scale calibration; weighing ticket; configuration list
cp_configuration	assembly	route_and_completeness	build records	model; lot; BOM revision; serial; included options; acceptance count; routing; outsourced supplier gates	Reconcile purchase orders, work orders, signed BOM and acceptance records for exactly the declared configuration.	record	each lot	same production period	factory and named suppliers	accepted complete machines by configuration; rejects and rework retained separately	signed release and routing records
cp_material	fabrication; finishing; assembly; packout	individual_material_input	weighing and issue ledger	row_id; grade; batch; issue mass; returns; stock change; job; accepted machine count; density for metered tap water; purity	Use calibrated scales, net issue/return ledgers and supplier specifications for each separate row. Include attributable rework. Metered water volume needs measured or supplier-confirmed density; retain raw unit and conversion.	kg	each issue and lot; water by meter interval	representative production period declared with start/end dates	actual included operation; no cross-stage duplication	attributable individual input mass / accepted machines of the same configuration	calibration; bills; stock reconciliation; density and composition evidence
cp_parts	assembly	individual_finished_component	BOM and weighing	row_id; component part number; supplier; specification; installed count; net component mass; embodied lubricant; acceptance count	Match one specific component design to the BOM, weigh installed component deliveries and verify included subcomponents to prevent duplication. Retain counts as support, not as a substitute for kg.	kg	each component design and lot	same production period	receiving and assembly	attributable installed component mass / accepted machines of the same configuration	supplier drawings; weighing tickets; configuration reconciliation
cp_energy	fabrication; finishing; assembly	individual_stage_electricity	meter and operation log	row_id; meter; voltage; energy kWh; interval; idle/rework; machine hours; allocated share; acceptance count	Use submetered readings; where shared, assign recorded machine time with reconciled measured load. Convert kWh to MJ using 3.6; reconcile stage totals to purchased supply and include pumping/air extraction where within the declared boundary.	MJ	meter interval and work order	same production period	included factory operations	attributable individual stage electricity / accepted machines of the same configuration	meter calibration; bills; allocation driver; balance
cp_waste	fabrication; finishing	individual_exported_waste	waste weighing and transfer	row_id; composition; contamination; mass; recovery; destination; treatment gate; accepted machine count	Weigh each segregated waste exported to receiver, deduct internal returns, retain wastewater chemical analysis and identify treatment state. Do not infer environmental emissions from waste mass.	kg	each transfer and production lot	same production period	actual generating operation	attributable individual waste mass / accepted machines of the same configuration	transfer tickets; scales; composition tests; destination receipts
cp_emission	fabrication	air_particulate	outlet monitoring	outlet concentration; exhaust volume; operating time; air medium; subcompartment; particle fraction; control; acceptance count	Measure actual post-control outlet concentration and exhaust volume for matched intervals. Calculate mass with retained units and sampling coverage; leave absence of measurement explicit, never fabricate an emission factor.	kg	representative operating intervals	same production period with sampling gaps disclosed	actual outlet only	attributable measured particulate mass / accepted machines of the same configuration	sampling report; calibration; unit calculation; applicability
cp_groundwater	finishing	groundwater	well meter	well; country; aquifer; withdrawal m3; use; pumping energy; accepted machine count	Meter actual freshwater abstraction for included cleaning; separate supplied water and internal recirculation. Attribute pumping to cp_energy without duplicating delivered-water production.	m3	each meter interval	same production period	factory freshwater well	attributable groundwater withdrawal / accepted machines of the same configuration	meter calibration; abstraction licence; location and water identity

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
normalize_mass	all inventory rows	q_ref = q_item / M; q_item = exchange amount per one accepted finished machine; q_ref = exchange amount per 1 kg reference flow.	q_item; M; cp_mass	q_ref

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
quality_config	all inventory rows	Use the same accepted model/configuration and period throughout. Reconcile delivered component mass and stock issues to net machine mass, waste, returns and WIP changes; explain deviations, never force balance by inventing emissions.	cp_mass; cp_configuration; cp_material; cp_parts; cp_waste
quality_coverage	all inventory rows	Reconcile every actual BOM item and operation to an atomic exchange or verified exclusion. Disclose missing UUIDs, suppliers, measurements, upstream links and temporal gaps. No universal cut-off percentage is set.	cp_configuration; cp_material; cp_parts; cp_energy
quality_sources	product_configuration	Manufacturer examples establish only designs and possible routes, not general weights, lifetime, emissions or industry amounts. Older model documents are used as explicitly dated design examples.	kuhn-gf-13003-2023; kuhn-hay-parts; krone-vendro; krone-swadro

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
validation_mass	reference_flow	Require cp_mass with positive measured net M, exact configuration match and 1 kg finished_machine output. Every per-machine non-reference row applies normalize_mass in its native numerator unit.
validation_route	inventory_completeness	Check required assembly/acceptance and every actual conditional operation against routing. Check weights, counters, stock change, rework and stage energy reconciliation. Missing or unresolved evidence yields incomplete coverage, not a verified zero or methodology approval.
validation_identity	all inventory rows	Use exactly one physical exchange per row; verify UUID property, unit, route, concentration, fossil/biogenic origin and environmental medium. Check official Chinese names and English/Chinese row/rule identity parity. An identity gap blocks claims of a fully resolved dataset.
validation_boundary	dataset_claims	Reject a full cradle-to-gate claim without demonstrated compatible upstream, transport and treatment coverage. Reject a comparative field-service claim based only on equal machine mass.

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	Configured foreground machine-manufacturing module; this heading describes later dataset delivery, not PCR publication status.
downstream_use	secondary_dataset; background_dataset
allowed_use	Supply manufacturing inventory to an explicitly configured machine model; scale by measured net M only for that same configuration.
excluded_use	Hay yield, field-service comparisons, farm fuel, maintenance or lifetime estimates; full cradle-to-gate without documented upstream coverage; use as methodology approval.
required_metadata	All qualifiers, site and period, gates, detailed route, component supply and completeness, reference quantity, weighing and allocation protocols, upstream/treatment links.
required_quality_disclosure	Measurement uncertainty, sampling gaps, unresolved identities, missing links, rework/reject handling, omissions and proxy sensitivity.
update_trigger	Configuration/BOM, supply voltage or source, coating route, supplier gate, allocation driver or weighing protocol changes.
