    • 1.2              LITERATURE REVIEW
      1.3              HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT (SCOPE)
      Based on the developing countries, technology in farm operation is highly increased.  It is clear that developments in farm machinery in West Africa started far back 1960.  This project must related to the social and ecological condition prevailing in different parts of this great region at the present time two trends a re apparent.
      i.                    Increase in the use of tractors and large agricultural machinery of farms of large extent both in the high forest and savanna zones, but particularly in the latter.
      ii.                  The increased use of animal power and small machines on peasant farms operation in West Africa will become increasingly mechanized, and that stage of mechanization mechanized, and that stage of mechanization which lies between the hoe and cutlass on one hand and the tractor combine harvester on the other is referred to as intermediate technology.
      1.4       IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT TO SOCEITY  
                  Generally this project (mechanical lawn mower) has a great effect towards development and maintenance of any community in the societies which one nominated below.
      1.                  Cutting grass of secondary primary and tertiary field thereby reducing human effort needed.
      2.                  Great portion of farmland can easily cut or brushed with lawn mower in one day.
      3.                  This project reduced number of personnel that needed in a particular farm operation.
      4.                  To reduce manpower
      5.                  To improve the economy of the country
      6.                  Provisions of foreign exchange in the country
      7.                  t reduce importation cost t o our country (Nigeria)
      8.                  It encourage pupils, and student to be regular and the school because no more cutting of grass with cutlass by pupils or students.
      1.5       AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
                  In the past, several investigation w ere made in the lawn mower industry at USA, Germany etc. Nigerian market, from which this production is a development of already existing ones.  It was localized to smite our environments condition aim and objectives of the investigation on the project are nominated below.
      1.5.1    REDUCTION OF LABOUR COST
                  In application of lawn mower machine in any government field and farm land causes seriously reduction in number of labour needed in the maintenance of the yard, brushing and clearing of the grass but with aid of lawn mower machine, the job is easily performed without much wasting of time.  This project IMT can get the yard well cutted and cleared.
      1.5.2    IMPROVEMENT OF FOOD PRODUCTION
                  Local farmer can embark on maintenance of 100 hectares of farm land with aid of lawn mower machine.  This project will extract some lazy farmer to embark on farming operation, also many people will developed interest and rendering agricultural engineering or course related to farm.
      1.5.3    TIME FACTOR
                  The production of this project (lawn mower machine) brings reduction in man hour consumed in cutting of grass which is being improved using lawn  mower machine which employed some minute of an how for  the job.
      1.5.4                                IMPROVEMENT IN ECONOMY.
      Having farmer embark on large farm land for production of food to the citizen birth aid of lawn mower machine but not hand tools is bound so produce supply enough quantities food to market which extract improvement of country and also ensure stability and the foreign exchange.  Also boosting of employment to the youth of the town.
