Development & Evaluation of Grass/Bush Cutter for Hilly Terrain

On the hilly and sloppy terrain. It is required to cut grasses hushes with a machine which is able to negotiate well on inclined surfaces. A rotary grass hush cutter was developed to suit these requirements The machine used a 3 hp petrol start kerosene run engine and V belt to drive a blad rotating in a horizontal plane The developed machine performed well in lawns and fields having slopes upto 100% and grass hush thickness of 2 cm thickness and height J 5 m However bigger wheels were needed to support the chasis for coping up with the undulations of more than 30 cm depth and hikes.
