DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF CROP CUTTING

MACHINE

SYNOPSIS

In this project a mechanism is being developed for harvesting of crop

cutter so that harvesting can be done easily in minimum period of time. •
The mechanism will be used to cut the crop and that will be a help for
farmers. • The dimensions and specification are taken as per the convenience
of location of Bihar, UP, Uttarakhand and Punjab and also as per availability
of standard parts. • Basically, the design is done according to the need of
small farmers at very low price. It is fabricated for small piece of land.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

When the worker will push machine with the handle then wheels
starts rotating. • On shaft the sprocket is mounted having chain drive
with 2nd shaft having freewheel and cycle wheel which transfer the
rotation to the 3rd shaft .On this shaft the bevel gear is attached to
both the ends then with the help of bevel gears this rotation is
transmitted to vertical shaft having cutter at the end. • Due to the
teeth ratio of bevel gears, rotation is maintain and power is obtained
for cutting purpose.

MERITS

Advantages:  Eco- friendly.  No need of any power source at manually

operated.  Less cost.  No labour required for cutting.  Mostly suitable
for small farm owner.  Easy to handle & operate.  Less maintenance. 
DEMERIT

Not used for high area

APPLICATIONS
Ø The model works correctly as per the design With the help of this
system,
Less time required compare to sickle.  Also use for grass cutting. 
Easy to afford for poor farmer.  Good field performance.
