Abstract:
This project wants to cover a lack of automation in the professional gardening sector, where today it is still a manual task, with the help of hoes and shovels to be able to carry out the work of starting the old lawn either to install artificial grass or sowing other varieties of grass with less demanding hydraulic, phytosanitary and maintenance needs. The project tries to unite the work of starting and collecting grass in one, with a much less physical effort. Observing this lack of unity in the sector, I have wanted to merge the traditional part with the new generations and knowledge obtained in the studies of the CFGS of Management and Organization of Natural and Landscape Resources, 8 years of experience as a gardener and mechanical engineering, my great passion . Therefore, the project studies the design, construction and feasibility of a machine capable of cutting at the roots at a depth of 3 cm and up to 15 cm in height and collecting the grass at the same time, to leave the land ready for sowing or installing artificial grass, saving hours of work and with a much lower effort than traditional work. This quasi-machine will be an implement from the PASQUALI SB 38 rototiller or another rototiller from another house with the same characteristics, which will be the one that will provide its movement and drag.
