Abstract

An electric operated lawn mower was developed and was evaluated in the Botanical garden of Bangladesh Agricultural University. The effective field capacity and the cutting efficiency of the mower using cutter with three blades were 0.02148 ha/hr and 99.4% respectively. While the effective field capacity of the mower using cutter with two blades and twisted steel wire were 0.01934 ha/hr and 0.0154 ha/hr, respectively. The cutting efficiency of the mower using cutter with two blades and twisted steel wire were 98.4% and 86.1%, respectively. The results indicated that the lawn mower using cutter with three blades could be used with high satisfaction.
