Projeto e construção de implemento segadeira para motocultivador agrícola

Abstract

Agricultural mechanization is essential for efficiency and productivity in the field, but the lack of implements compatible with different brands of two-wheel tractors limits small farmers' access to effective solutions. This study presents the design and construction of a mower implement adaptable to various two-wheel tractor models, offering an affordable and functional alternative. The implement was developed based on the application of a four-bar crank-rocker mechanism, responsible for converting the rotary motion of the tractor's power take-off into an oscillatory motion of the cutting blades. To validate its technical and operational feasibility, a prototype was built and tested in field conditions, evaluating cutting performance and mechanism efficiency. The results demonstrated that the designed mower is efficient, easy to maintain, and economically viable, providing a practical solution for small and medium-sized farmers.
