The aim of the study was to evaluate the mechanized grape harvest conducted by the
trailed harvester. As a criterions was introduced the performance, harvest losses of grapes and
economic efficiency from the perspective of its introduction. The calculatio
ns consist of total
annual and partial unit costs also with regards to indirect costs which are formed by the grape
losses during the harvest. Evaluation was conducted on three varieties of grapes. The losses of
grapes, total annual and partial unit costs
were calculated for selected varieties of grapes and also
for whole production area. The mean grape losses for whole production area were determined at
470
kg

, while the greatest portion of these losses (9.7%) was observed in case of Neronet
variety.
Among other analysed aspect were the efficiency of mechanized harvest introduction by
definition of labour costs and the ransom price of grapes in relation with minimum required area.
A substantial part of total costs for area 100
ha
was formed by direct c
osts up to 15.24% greater
than the indirect costs. The efficiency of machinery introduction into the harvest process was
observed at minimum area of 16.92
ha
in case of rental mechanized harvest of grapes. In case of
mechanized harvest conducted by previou
sly bought trailed grape harvester the value of minimal
efficiency was determined at 27.42

. As a result then serves an effective utilization of
mechanized grape harvest in selected company but it is not limited to it and can be applied on
any oth
