Author(s): Kachhadiya DM and Tiwari VK
Abstract: Grass cutting is a tedious operation in agriculture field. In India, agriculture has facing serious challenges of scarcity of agricultural labour not only peak in seasons and almost throughout the year. It is very time consuming and stressful operation. A swiveling head type power brush cutter was developed at ASPEE Agril. Research and Development Foundation, Mumbai. Three different forward speed (0.8-1.2, 1.3-1.7 and 1.8-2.2 km/h) and three different swiveling shaft speed (15, 20 and 25 rpm) with three different nylon wire length (10, 15, 20 cm) were used for the test performance. The maximum field capacity was found 0.123 ha/h. The total energy consumption was found 21.31 % less as compared to the existing brush cutter.
