In: Mansoura University Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering 2015.v.6(1)Summary: The design and commercial manufacturing of mechanical sugarcane harvesters have taken place firstly in Hawaii, Australia, Southern USA (Louisiana and Florida) and Japan where the sugarcane production is fully mechanized. Significant researches of mechanical cane harvesting have also been done in Barbados, Brazil, Trinidad, Cuba, India and several other countries. Normally there are two sugarcane mechanical harvesting systems classified as follow: 1-Whole-stalk sugarcane harvesting system (the system which delivers whole stalk of canes). Large self- propelled whole stalk harvesters operated only within full mechanization systems. Other tractor mounted machines or small single axle walkman steering cane cutters are fabricated for the conditions of developed countries. 2-Cut-chop-harvesting or chopper harvesting system (the system which chop the cane into billets while harvesting). This system is also called sugarcane combine harvesting system. All other cane harvesters are whole-stalk-harvesters developed to perform stalk base cutting -as principle function and some of harvesters may include mechanisms for topping and/or windrowing in addition. Since manual harvesting of sugarcane is actually whole stalk harvesting by labors so that in changing from manual to a mechanical harvesting system, whole stalk harvesting may fit more easily.
