CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
In the past, cutting of grasses
in the schools, sports track, or field, industries hotels, pubic
center, etc was done by cutlass this method of manual cutting is time
consuming a s it is human effort that is needed for cutting, there was
also inaccuracy in cutting level using the manual cutting system.
Apart from all these old method of cutting there is also risk of accident.
The problems of the manual was meant to be overcome with the aid of
this project (the construction of a mechanical lawn mower) which is used
for cutting of grasses to equal height or level for speedy cutting.
This project lawn mower, is also the accident free as well, it reduced
labour and also reduced number personnel that is needed in a particular
operation, it also reduced man power as it an internal combustion
engineer that dose the actual cutting while the operator provides the
efforts, great portion of land can easily be cut with lawn mower.
Again to encourage beauty in our environment this project was embarked
on to help in keeping our environment clean because most labourers are
finding it difficult in handily tool for gasses cutting. It is also
used for cutting sports field, (like foot ball pitch as well as crowns
in hotel and business premises so this project reduces human effort and
should be encouraged in school, hotel, business area, etc although
mowers can be of electric type too, but we decided to fabricate a
mechanical type to overcome the problem of electricity and as such this
our lawn mower can be used every where even were there is no
electricity.
IDENTIFICATION OF NEED
Early before now,
West Africa as a whole, the peasant farmer depends on the hoe and
cutlass for practically all farm operation. There tools vary in shape
and size from place to place in the high forest zone of Nigeria the
small farmer must clear thick bush every three or four years. All this
job is being done either hoe or cutlass for weeding of farm land. These
farm operation depend entirely on the energy of the farmer using the
tools which he has at this disposal. This inability that facing the
farmer, has triggered these project group to research into the lasting
solution to the problem.
Also, with meant development in
the country, daily labour in farm operation is highly exorbitant for the
farmer to afford but with these project (mechanical lawn mower) this
problem of high payment of local labour can lead to reduction
importation cost from Germany USA of this machine Nigerian with high
profitability to the farmers.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Mechanical engineering department of the named institute has many non operational machines sequel to this fact maintenance which resulted to non development and non maintenance of the institute community at large. By this fact the project (mechanical lawn mower) was constructed and design to help in the development and maintenance of institution, community and the society at large in the area of grass cutting in our environment and the improvement in our food production and als ...
