During harvest season, farmers often face a shortage of labor, leading to delayed harvesting, increased costs, and potential crop losses. With rising demand for harvesters and limited availability, timely harvesting has become challenging.
In this scenario, the Self-Propelled Vertical Conveyor Reaper offers farmers a cost-effective, lightweight, and easy-to-use solution. This machine simplifies harvesting of crops like wheat, paddy, and oilseeds, saving both time and labor.
This is an engine-powered reaper that farmers can operate without a tractor, as it is self-propelled. Key components include:
The engine drives the cutter bar and conveyor belt via a belt-pulley system. The machine cuts crops and drops them upright in the field, preventing scattering and making bundling easier. Harvesting is faster and less labor-intensive.
