Abstract
After the harvesting process of cassava, the farmers usually gather, load and transport the cassava to the factory within one day, using manual labor and having quite low capacity. Thus, the gathering and the transportation onto the truck are the bottle neck of the process. The purpose of this research aims to study and development of conveying cassava machine for truck loading to increase the working capacity after harvesting process. The result of this study indicates that the developed conveying cassava machine for truck loading attached to a three-point hitch of a 45 hp standard tractor was a working capacity of 2.36 rai/man-hour which is 138% of the farmer’s conventional practice.
