Diseño y construcción de una cortadora de pasto tipo remolque para zonas agrícolas con capacidad de 600 m2/h.

Abstract

This project aims to apply knowledge acquired throughout Mechanical Engineering´s career in order to design a lawnmower type towing with capacity of 600 m2/h, this will avoid to use a tractor, decreasing cost considerably. The first chapter talks about concepts, after that it shows an agronomic study of different kinds of pastures that there are in cattle areas and obtaining important data for the subsequent design of the machine. The second chapter proposes alternatives in order to design a lawnmower type towing, well as it studies and chooses standard elements. In the third chapter, it talks about sizing of the transmission system, moreover blades, shaft and structure of towing are designed here, using data previously obtained. The fourth chapter shows a costs analysis of raw materials, services, consumables and intangible invested in this project. Finally, the fifth chapter provides a maintenance plan of the different elements of the machine.
