Commercial agricultural machines are noted for having some limitations in their functions, which motivates the proponents to develop and apply new ideas to agricultural applications. This innovative agricultural machine can clean the pollen grains by operating the cleaning cylinder at moderate speeds. A hook-on wood lathe assembly is provided in the machine for effecting attractive soft broom handles as a finished product. In addition, the machine can be utilized as a Palay-Thresher, making it multi-functional. The study utilizes the Research and Development (R&D) process since the output of the study will be useful to farmers who process tiger grass in Partido, Camarines Sur. This project study examines the technical development of designing, fabricating, testing, and evaluating a multi-function agricultural machine out of locally available materials. In its performance test, the study demonstrated a high level of acceptability regarding its functionality and efficiency. Although this study successfully established the functionality of the “Design and Fabricate Multi-Function Tiger Grass (Thysanolaena Maxima) Pollen Grains Remover with Soft-Broom /Samhod Wood Lathe Assembly and Convertible Rice Palay Thresher,” more studies should be conducted to improve the design and efficiency of the device.
