CROP CUTTER MACHINE

ABSTRACT:

The main purpose of our Project is to help small scale farmers who
having land area less than 5 acres by designing small scale harvester machine to
harvest grains very efficiently. Our project work will focus on ease of
harvesting operation to the small scale farmers for harvesting varieties of grain
in less time and at low cost by considering different factors such as cost of
equipment, ease of operation, time of operation and climatic conditions. This
machine has cutting blades which cut crops in scissoring type of operation can
cut up to two rows of crops. The power unit for this machine is Petrol engine of
14.25 HP. This power is transmitted through gear box, sprocket-chain
mechanism to the cutter blades and other power requiring mechanisms for
performing cutting, harvesting, and separation operation. This harvester might
be the best solution for the problems faced by small scale farmers relating with
availability of labors and cost of harvesting. The machine consists of DC
MOTOR to operate cutting roller and blade.This machine to helpful for both the
small as well as big farm.

It majorly includes decrease in the man power compared to the early

times. With this Multi Crop Cutter, the entire problem can be solved easily.
There are some steps involved in fabricating this machine such as fabricating
the small model using suitable material and test the functioning of this machine.
The aim is to fabricate and test the performance of the small model of a
manually operated crop cutter for cutting the crop. Time require for cutting crop
is main importance. During cutting of crop season, often rains and storm cause
considerable damage of standing crops. Rapid cutting of crop gives more time
for preparation of land for next crop planting. The use of machines can help for
cutting at proper stage of crop maturity and reduce operation time. Considering
these improved cutting tools equipment, combine being accepted by the farmer.
