Abstract
The power-operated cutter bar mower unit was developed in the laboratory of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, JNKVV, Jabalpur for small farmers. The prime mower is powered by a 5hp diesel engine. The V-belt drive is provided for transmission of power from the engine to the traction wheels. An adjustable accelerator wire is connected to the governor for adjusting the engine speed according to the requirement. The worm gear reduction unit is located at the axle having a speed reduction ratio of 20:1. The cutter bar mower consisted of six main components including the cutting, transmission, power, handling, frame, and transporting units. Two skids were attached to the cutter bar unit, one on each side, to control cutting height. Performance tests of the mower resulted in an average 0.08 ha/h effective field capacity, 1.40 L/h fuel consumption, 0.761 field efficiency, 2 km/hr of average speed, and 30 mm cutting height.
