In response to the unclear impact of header vibration on cutting performance (stalk cutting quality and cutting energy consumption) during field operations of industrial hemp harvesters, this study utilized a vibration recorder to collect information on header vibration during the operation of industrial hemp harvesters. Through data processing, the dominant range for the resonant frequency and amplitude of the cutting platform is primarily concentrated between 5–45 Hz and 0–35 mm, respectively. Using numerical simulation techniques, a quadratic orthogonal rotation combination experiment was conducted with vibration frequency and amplitude as experimental factors and stalk cutting quality and cutting energy consumption as indicators. Regression equations were established to reveal the relationships between indicators and factors, elucidating the influence of each factor and its interactions on the indicators. Specifically, for the crack length indicator, the amplitude has a highly significant influence on the model, and there is a significant interaction effect between vibration frequency and amplitude on the model. As for the cutting energy consumption indicator, frequency and the interaction between frequency and amplitude significantly affect the model, while amplitude has an extremely significant impact on the model. Through comprehensive fuzzy evaluation, the optimal vibration parameter combination satisfying comprehensive cutting performance indicators was determined as a vibration frequency of 37.86 Hz and an amplitude of 5.34 mm. Furthermore, the reliability of the model has been further validated. This research can provide a reference for improving the field performance of industrial hemp harvesters.
