Abstract
This machine targets the small scale farmers who have land area of less than 2 acres. This machine is compact and can cut up
to two rows of wheat crops. It has cutting blades which cut the crop in a scissoring type of motion. It runs on Electric motor of
1HP, this power from motor, is provided through pulley and gear box arrangement to the cutter. A collecting mechanism is
provided for the collection of crops to one side after cutting. This mechanism is powered by pulley arrangement.This compact
harvester is manufactured using locally available spare parts and thus, it is easily maintainable. This harvester might be the
solution to the problems faced by a small scale farmer regarding cost and labour implementation. After testing this machine in
farm it is found that the cost of harvesting using this harvester is considerably less as compare to manual harvesting.
