Title Low cost Sugarcane Harvester
 
Details Mr Kandaraj owns a small mechanical workshop. He cultivates sugarcane on his five acre land. In response to the acute labour shortage during the harvesting period, he has designed a small sugarcane harvester. Initially, he fitted the sugarcane cutter with two wheel mounting assembly. Not satisfied with its performance, he decided to use the three wheel mounting assembly. The cutter consists of three wheels of 12 inch diameter each. A minimum of one feet width between sugarcane rows is enough for operating this machine. By altering the blade, one can use the machine to harvest paddy, maize, sorghum etc. The cost of the sugarcane cutter is around Rs.10, 000.
