Project Abstract

Abstract
Rotary slashers are essential tools in agricultural and landscaping activities for cutting grass, weeds, and light brush. However, these machines often require maintenance and rehabilitation due to wear and tear from regular use. This project aims to provide practical knowledge on the rehabilitation process of a rotary slasher to help users extend the lifespan and efficiency of their equipment. The rehabilitation process involves several key steps, including inspection, cleaning, repairing or replacing worn parts, and proper reassembly. A thorough inspection of the rotary slasher is crucial to identify any damaged or worn components that may affect its performance. Cleaning the machine is necessary to remove dirt, debris, and old grease that can impede its function. Repairing or replacing worn parts such as blades, belts, bearings, and seals is essential to ensure the proper operation of the slasher. Additionally, proper reassembly is vital to prevent any errors or malfunctions that may occur during operation. Following the manufacturer's guidelines and using the correct tools and techniques are crucial in the reassembly process. Regular maintenance and proper storage of the rotary slasher are also important to prevent premature wear and damage. This project provides a detailed guide on the tools and materials needed for the rehabilitation process, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to inspect, clean, repair, and reassemble a rotary slasher. By following these guidelines, users can effectively rehabilitate their rotary slashers and maintain their performance and longevity. Furthermore, the project highlights the importance of safety precautions during the rehabilitation process. Users are advised to wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and safety goggles, to prevent injury. Proper ventilation in the work area is also recommended when using cleaning agents or solvents. In conclusion, this project offers valuable insights into the practical knowledge needed for the successful rehabilitation of a rotary slasher. By following the outlined steps and safety precautions, users can enhance the efficiency and durability of their equipment, ultimately improving their productivity in agricultural and landscaping tasks.

Project Overview

1.0                                                   INTRODUCTION

Rotary Slashers is an agricultural machine, which is used for cutting unwanted grass. These rotary slashers are joined through jigs, fixtures & dies, thus ensure joining accuracy as well as interchangeability. It has heavy duty gear boxes and rugged frame which can withstand rough and tough wild grass, anchored straw and bushes. It is designed for fast application to any type of 5080 HP tractor with three point linkage. (www.indianagrovision.com, 2018).

Rotary slasher are generally have an opening by the side of the housing through which cut grasses expelled. The blade is seldom Sharp enough to give a neat cutting point.The blade simply cut the grass resulting in brown tips.However the horizontal blades are easy to removed and sharpen or replace. Base on the energy source , the tractor power take off shaft is use to transfer power to the implement.

(www.ijeter.everscience.org, 2018).

1.1                                                   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

This project deals with the rejuvenation of rotary slasher slasher which was broken down for a while in the workshop due to some mechanical fault. We aimed at restoring the rotary slasher to good operative,effective and also make it to serve the purpose.

Rehabilitation of rotary slasher means to the process involved in repairing and rejuvenation of a broken down rotary slasher in other to restore it back to normal working condition. Due to high global economic set back today, a lot of people find it difficult when it comes in term of rehabilitation of broken down machine, implement part or the machine as a whole and hence serve as an alternative to purchasing new one.

1.2                                                   STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

A physical inspection was carried out on the scrapped and abandoned rotary slasher to access the problems of the implement. After inspection and diagnosed. It was discovered that the following faults were detected.

      i.           The oil seal was damaged

    ii.           The slip clutch safety guard was missing

  iii.           The blades is blunt, require resharpening

  iv.           The center hitch pin was missing

    v.           The bolts and nuts on the blade need replacement

1.3                                                   AIM AND OBJECTIVE

1.3.1                                                 AIM

      i.           The aim of this project is to acquire practical knowledge on the rehabilitation process of a rotary slasher

    ii.           To make the implement functional

  iii.           To highlight on the advantages of good maintenance culture

1.3.2                                                 OBJECTIVE

      i.           To inspect the implement

    ii.           To diagnose and detect the fauts in the rotary slasher

  iii.           To estimate the requirements for the rehabilitation

  iv.           To rehabilitate and test implement

    v.           To provide additional implement to the department.

1.4                                                   SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Is to have practical knowledge and experience of what is been thought in the classroom and also have idieas on the maintenance to add to the number of good equipment in the department.

This project would not only help in the rehabilitating the rotary slasher, but will help in correcting the maintenance of the implement, broadens the students technical knowledge of the implement hereby increasing their interest the field.

1.5                                                   SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this project is the precurment, purchase and replacement of the defectives parts in the rotary slasher and to extend the functionality of the implement in the department.

1.6.1                                                 DEFINITION OF TERMS

      i.           MACHINERY

This is a group of powerful multipurpose engine powered machines or device on which implement are mounted or attached for their operations. This device require skills to operate, example tractors, bulldozer, milking machine, etc.They are often heavy duty machines adopted for large scale mechanized farming.

    ii.           EQUIPMENT

These are lower machines or advanced implements that require both skilled and unskilled labour for their operation.They range from simple hand held apparatus to complex ones designed a specific work.

  iii.           IMPLEMENT

These are higher and larger tools or devices that are attached to or mounted on animals or machines used in farming operation. Without the aid of these machines or animals,implements cannot function on there own.They are made up of material especially iron for a specific purpose in the farming operation.example ,ploughs, shearing blade,harrow, Rodgers,cultivators, tiller.etc that are attached to the tractor use in mechanized farming

1.6.2                                                 CLASSIFICATION OF IMPLEMENT

Agricultural implement can be further classified according to how the drive power from the power unite the can be further classified into four major unit namely.

                      i.           FULLY MOUNTED IMPLEMENT

Fully mounted implement are machines that drive all power required for work from the prime mover,such machine is mounted is mounted on the tractor’s three point linkage and can be lowered or lifted using a tractor hydraulics system. Example of fully mounted implement include rotary slasher,plough, subsoiler, disc harrow etc.

                  ii.           SEMI-MOUNTED IMPLEMENT

These is an implement that is partially supported by the tractor and partially supported by own wheel.such implement has only one pair of wheel, usually at the back while the front is supported by the tractor draw bar.example of such implement includes planter,sprayers,and fertilizer drills

                iii.           TRAIL IMPLEMENT

These are implement that is attached to the tractor through the draw bar which provide a towing or pull force but can not support the weight of the implement .such implement include tractor trailer use for transportation.

                iv.           SELF PROPELLED IMPLEMENT

This is a machine this is self propelled and has his own engine and tyre for support. It does not depend on the tractor for power and support.
