In a Saurashtra region, farmers are facing a major problem with the trimming of boundary bushes or cutting of the fence of agriculture. In addition to this, unwanted bush also obstructs farm operations, roads, and electricity poles. Currently, bush-cutting is done through manual trimming by agricultural workers, but it is a time-consuming and expensive operation. In addition, using an axe or saw may lead to injury. To overcome this problem, it requires good tools or machines for safe and easy operation. Many mechanical devices are available to perform boundary bush trimming or agricultural fence cutting, but conventional mechanical power has several drawbacks, including non-continuous operation, limited speeds due to the use of mechanical gearboxes, high power loss in transmission, and increased maintenance. As time has changed, an improvement in traditional tools and devices is required. Hydraulic power is a good alternative to mechanical power, and it reduces the risks of human injury as compared to mechanical power. Also, the power transmission is more economical as compared to the mechanical. To maintain the preceding point, a hydraulic power transmission system was chosen over a mechanical one. In this study, an existing method was compared in terms of time and cost with a developed machine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
