Problem Statement:

Manual harvesting of crop

---

Detail:

Labor scarcity, loss in yield of crop during harvesting made the innovator search for machine but found significant wastage of grain and loss of stalk as left over. The innovator developed a machine for harvesting crops, which overcomes such problems. It is a front mounted attachment for tractor and windrowing unit which facilitates gathering of harvested crop at the center of machine ultimately reduces the shattering loss. It consists of self made chassis, frame for mounting it to front of tractor, power transmission system for taking drive from crankshaft of tractor engine, hydraulic system for lifting/lowering the reaper unit, reeling unit, cutting unit and windrowing unit.
