Abstract-
The operation of traditional farming methods requires farmers to spend their entire workday which leads to either slow progress or a lack of workers. The development of an agricultural cutting machine which provides multipurpose capabilities enables farmers to boost their work efficiency while simplifying their farming tasks. Automated systems face adoption challenges in rural areas because of their expensive price tag and limited equipment availability which prevents farmers from using these modern technologies. Rural areas cannot implement new technologies because they face two main obstacles which are high expenses and restricted access to resources. The project consists of three agricultural automation processes: The system includes three mechanisms which operate Sugarcane Seed Cutting through a motor-driven gearbox that transforms rotary motion into reciprocating motion for accurate cutting purposes while Groundnut Stripper uses its rotating shaft and cylinder system to extract groundnuts from their original plant locations and Straw Cutting functions through its circular ring system which drives rotating blades to cut straw into fine pieces through a belt-driven motor system. The equipment uses high-speed grass stem cutting technology which features self-sharpening blades that can be adjusted together with a safety guard to provide efficient and secure agricultural trimming operations. The design provides essential functions through its simple structure which maintains low production costs while enabling farmers to operate the system with basic operational skills. The machine improves work efficiency through its ability to save time and decrease waste while providing advanced technological capabilities to solve major agricultural sector problems.
