Abstract

Tractor mounted hydraulic elevator (TMHE), a mechanized tool, has been developed and tested for harvesting of mango and coconuts. The exhaustive field-testing of TMHE on mango and coconut orchard was conducted on plane and sloppy land upto 20.5 per cent slope on University farm and farmers' field. The comparative study of available elevator for mango and coconut harvesting has been studied. The cost of TMHE is Rs 1,30,000. The observed field capacity of the developed TMHE is 2800 mango (700 kg) per day and 4,524 coconuts/day.
