Abstract

A tractor-front mounted sugarcane harvester was fabricated and tested. The machine parts were designed using “SolidWorks" software.    The machine was then manufacturing and constructed by using the low cost material available in local market. Main components of this machine are machine frame, cutter head, power transmission system, and power supply. Results of the tests showed that the effective field capacity ranged from 1.16 to 1.3 fed/h, and increased with an increase in row spacing and forward speed. In the high crop density fields, the cutter head efficiency averaged 100 %. It, however, increased with a decrease in cutting height and also, increased with an increase in row spacing and number of knives. The throughput capacity increased from 42.9 to 79.02 t/h as the row spacing increased from 71 to 88.75 cm and the maximum total operating costs are 120 EGP/h (98.5 and 92.3 EGP/Fed) depending on the power requirements.
