This project addresses a crop cutting machine, which is fabricated with very simple mechanisms at low cost. Basically the Problems faced by farmers, who work on small fields, while harvesting is that, the crop takes a lot of time, the availability of labor and their cost during cutting season is also very high. Although various agricultural machines are available in the market but they are quite large and costly. It becomes uneconomical for small farmers to afford such kind of machines. In order to overcome the situation, we have introduced a new simple machine that is more efficient for small farmers. The design and working of a simple ragi cutting machine is discussed here, which is operated on the principle of slider crank mechanism by varying the length of cutting grains. And especially the machine targets the farmers who have land area of less than 2 acres. Hence this project might be the solution to the problems faced by a small scale farmer regarding cost and labor implementation.
