Abstract
Cutting energy and bending stress are of the most important factor to design the types of grain combine and harvesters which harvests theagricultural crops. Determining the cutting energy and bending stress, plays a vital role in lowering the energy consumption of graincombines and harvesters. A pendulum type impact shear test apparatus was developed to calculate the energy requirement for cutting Redgram stalks. It works on the principle of law of conservation of energy. The apparatus consisted of frame, pendulum, pointer, protractor,cutting blade and stalk holder. It was observed that the cutting energy of Red gram stalks of 12mm, 16mm 20mm and 24mm girths at threemoisture contents 10
