Therefore, the essential development of an innovative hand tool harvester is required to improve and facilitate the harvesting process. Using digital gauge, tuber exlraction force was measured in order to be fed into the Computer Aided Design (CAD) simulation. Three designs of hand tools (straight, bent and fulcrum) were proposed and the design selection was based on the lowest displacement and stress value. This was done using SolidWorks CAD software. Further analysis was conducted to select the best material for the selected design based on stress analysis and factor of safety. The results from field experiments showed that the bent type hand tool required less force to extract the D. hlsprda in comparison to the traditlonal hoe. A force reduction at approximately of 10 % was achieved by the newly proposed design as well as fabrication from material which is lighter and stronger.
