ABSTRACT:
A machine for cutting and mulching banana plantation debris includes a self-propelled tractor mechanism having at least two driven wheels and at least one steerable wheel. The tractor mechanism forces banana plantation debris below the tractor mechanism as the tractor mechanism is driven. A cutting assembly is hitchable to a front or rear end of the tractor mechanism and connectable to a power take-off of the tractor mechanism. The cutting assembly as a tunnel chassis having an upside down U-shaped cross section that supports an inertial cutting and crushing mechanism. The tunnel chassis includes a substantially vertical shaft that mounts an inertial flywheel and, below the inertial flywheel, a mounting plate for rotatably mounting a plurality of cutting blades.
