ABSTRACT
A gasoline operated- modified lawn
mower for cutting grass using Nylon blade as the cutting tool was designed.
developed and tested. The cutting mechanism was made of a Nylon blade rigidly
fixed to the gear box. The machines performance evaluation was conducted in a
football field where grasses of different height were cut with it. During the
field test, the actual efficiency of the machine was estimated in fields of
different conditions (Normal field condition, stony field condition and marshy
field condition) at various height adjustment of the lawn mower. The result
obtained show that the machine efficiency at different grass height was64.3%
while that of different field condition was 61%. The actual field capacity of
the machine was obtained to be O.088ha/hr. The overall field efficiency was
found to be 96.7%. However, these results indicate that if the efficiency can
be improved, the use of nylon blade in future lawn mower is inevitable since
nylon blades can easily cut grasses in stony fields with less damage on the
machine.
