In this modern world, many technologies are available for agriculture but still farmers are struggling to harvest sugarcane for their cultivation. farmers does not show interest in buying harvesting machine since the cost of the existing machine is high. Another important problem is the requirement of skilled labour for doing harvesting. This paper is aimed at the design of a low cost sugarcane harvesting machine which operates manually. Considering the above said problems, the machine works on the principle of transfer of rotational energy from one part of the machine to another part of the machine. This uses a belt-pulley system to transfer its rotational motion from one part to another. This machine can be operated at a much faster rate and cheaper price. This work serves as an attachment to the tractor of small size. Usually the power of this tractor is in the range of 18hp - 24hp. This product uses the tractor which is readily available with the farmer.
