Fabrication of semi-automatic agro paddy harvesting machine

Abstract

Recently there has been shortage of skilled labour available for agriculture purpose. Because of this shortage the farmers have transitioned to using harvesters. Cutting crops manually using labour is very time lengthy & time-consuming task. The harvesters are available for purchase, but because of their high costs, they are not affordable. However agricultural groups make these harvesters available for rent on hourly basis, but the small holding farm owners generally do not require the full featured combined harvesters. Hence there is a need for smaller & efficient combined harvesters, which would be more accessible and also considerably cheaper. The mission is to create a portable user friendly and low cost mini paddy harvesting machine. The idea is to create a machine which is cheap and will reduce the labour required to harvest crops.
