Abstract

Sugarcane single bud cutting machine was developed in the Farm Machinery Power Engineering Lab, DRPCAU, Pusa. The developed machine consists of a frame, cutting blade, electric motor, sitting arrangement etc. This machine will save the time and effort by traditional methods of farmers. Field experiments were conducted for 5 varieties of sugarcane to determine the time taken for cutting different type of varieties by machine and manually by khurpi. The machine cuts the sugarcane single buds. The results of preliminary tests revealed that the machine achieved the skipping, percentage of damaged, cutting efficiency, and productivity was (1.41,3.17,4.1,0.69,3.39%), (1.46,3.35,4.33,0.71,3.62%), (98.59,96.83,95.90,99.31,96.61%), (1626,1960,1824,2253,1662 bud/hr.) of the variety R1, R2, R3, R4, and R6 respectively. The total costs for operating the machine is44.66 Rs/h.
