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, and 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 in India is not only limited to growing of 24 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 and useful to harvest soya bean and Grams. The Husk of harvested crops also useful for briquettes manufacturing and as an animal food with best protein power.
