In the world, the usage of agriculture equipment is increasing. In the usage of agriculture equipment, India contributes only 10% as shown in Figure 1 Conducted survey in the year 2012.
Two types are harvesting methods are there:
In Manual Harvesting to cut one acre of sugarcane 15-16 labors are required they take 3 days to cut one acre and involves harvesting of 60-70 tons per acre with labors being paid 500-550 Rupees per ton of harvest hence total cost of harvesting per acre comes up to 30,000-35,000 Rupees.
In mechanization now by using large-scale harvesting machine takes about 6-7 hours for harvesting one acre averaging about 60-70 tons with labor costing around 3,500-4,000 Rupees per hour hence the total cost of harvesting per acre comes up to 20,000- 25,000 Rupees.
Presently utilized twin sickle drive systems are normally incorporated in self-propelled crop harvesting machines whereby the source of power is from a centrally located power take-off (p.t.o.) on the base unit. The transfer of power to the opposite sides of the header is accomplished via a common shaft running transverse along the header above the discharge opening and driven by the centrally located power source as in U.S. Pat. No. 3,503,190 or via individual shafts interconnecting the respective drive unit located at the side of the header and the centrally located power source.
A crop harvester includes: a rotatable auger tube having a gathering section; flighting disposed in a spiral pattern on the outer surface of the gathering section so that, when the auger tube is rotated, the flighting moves material within a perimeter of the flighting laterally and creates a neutral zone behind the flighting that is generally free of material; and gathering fingers disposed in the neutral zone that, when the auger tube is rotated, extend beyond the perimeter of the flighting to gather the material, tuck the material toward the auger tube, and then retract within the perimeter of the flighting.
