Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
It is a very interesting manuscript and the field work carried out gives value to the results obtained. Undoubtedly, the contribution to peanut cultivation is significant.
Please consider the following:
- In the discussion section add the limitations of the work and the scopes of the work.
- In the results section, explain in detail the graphs presented as results.

Reviewer 2 Report
This article is about evaluation of three different types of peanut harvester drum forms. The mechanisms of these drum forms were provided and the analysis was done based on 2 varieties "Shanhua 9" and "Huayu22". The review showed quite little difference for crushed rate.
This article provided a quite thorough description of the mechanisms, and the analysis is based on standard approach. This evaluation provided a further in-depth understanding of these mechanisms, and will lead to a better iteration of harvesters.
The minor things to fix are consistency, such as units (spaced or non-spaced? - 3.15 m or 3.15m?), Fig. or Figure in text. The Figure numbers are definitely not aligned with the text.
- line 233 - Figure 2->Figure 4
- line 260 - Figure 10->Figure 6 or Fig. 6
- line 334 - Figure 2->Figure 7
- line 365 - Figure 3->Figure 8 or Fig. 8
- line 412 - Figure 3->Figure 8
- line 417 - Figure 4->Figure 9 or Fig. 9
- line 433 - Figure 4->Figure 9
- line 436 - Figure 10->Figure 10 or Fig. 10
- line 466 - Figure 5->Figure 10
- line 471 - Figure 6->Figure 11 or Fig. 11
- line 472 - Figure 7->Figure 12 or Fig. 12
- line 494 - Figure 6->Figure 11
- line 500 - Figure 7->Figure 12
There are a couple of spelling mistakes as well (found one at line 192 - podpods which I believe is pods and another one is Huayu22were to be Huayu22 were on line 489). Figure 2 (meant to be 7) is not introduced in the text. Formulas were also not numbered. I also suggest that "From Figure 4" on line 417 and "From fig. 5" on line 437 to be removed. Also, non-capital T instead for Transportation on line 441. Highly suggest to read through and carefully comb out the mistakes.
