Abstract
In mountainous and hilly regions where step farming is done, it’s difficult to clean the slope surfaces or remove unwanted plants grown on it. It’s very important for the farmers to clean the slope surfaces before doing farming on plane surfaces. Currently, farmers are cleaning or removing the plants from the slope surfaces manually by using traditional tools such as hoe. But it’s very difficult for farmers to do manually by using such tools over a wide area. In this project we have fabricated a machine which consists of rotating blade fixed at the front end. This machine makes the surface clean by ploughing the plants which are partially cut from the deep near surfaces. This machine consists of a two sets of rotating discs connected to separate shaft. Both sets of discs are inclined at some
angle to shaft which makes the soil loose when it rotates.
