Abstract
Mowing grass for farmers is a very demanding task even though it does not produce value in agricultural
production. Especially in mountainous areas, there are many steep slopes which require farmers to work very
hard, and in the hot summer months, it can only be done manually for a short time, so the burden on farmers
is very large, and it is a major obstacle for farmers. There is a problem of agriculture in Japan where the farming
population is decreasing, but there are cases where new farmers give up on continuing because of the heavy
burden of mowing grass. It is said that smart agriculture will save the declining agriculture, and there are high
expectations for smart agriculture, but the current model called smart mower does not match the needs of the
field. If a mower that meets the needs of the field is developed, we believe that it will greatly reduce the burden
on farmers and will be a major force in promoting smart agriculture in Japan by continuing to focus on
agricultural production for new farmers. In this research report, we will report the results of a survey aimed at
clarifying the ideal form of a mower that matches the needs of farmers, and consider proposals for the future of
mowing grass
