A self-propelled multipurpose power unit was developed in the laboratory of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, JNKVV, Jabalpur for small farmers. The prime mower is powered by 5hp diesel engine. V-belt drive is provided for transmission of power from the engine to the traction wheels. An adjustable accelerator wire is connected to the governor for adjusting the engine speed according to the requirement. The worm gear reduction unit is located at the axle having speed reduction ratio of 20:1. A telescopic type frame is provided to support the end of adjustable output shaft with the help of bearing. The handle is modified so as to vary the height from 1.0 to 1.3 m from the ground. The addition lug cage wheel is connected to transport wheel to increase the traction. This resulted into less effort better contact and less than 2% slippage between belt and pulley. Now the working of power engaging system is working with an ease.
