Effects of cutting speeds and moisture content on grass chopping (pulverizing)

A study was conducted at the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute, MARDI, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia, to investigate the effects of Vertical Mower with double sided knife at four different speeds of 2000, 2200, 2500 and 2700 rpm, with two grass moisture contents at 20.37% and 5...
