Many efforts have been carried out to boost sugarcane production through increased productivity, namely land preparation, seed repairs, fertilization, irrigation, plant maintenance and pest control. Thus, performance is very important because it will determine the quality of sugar cane. To date, sugarcane crabs is still performed manually with co-added of hoe equipment. Cutting with hoes in addition to low capacity and expensive costs, the yield is also less than expected. According to practitioners in the field, a good cutting stump requires the stump below the surface of the ground and the shaped like “U, V or W” The purpose of this study was to examine the cutting angle of the sugarcane cutting tool using 3 cutting angles of the blade that rotates vertically with two-wheeled tractor power. The highest percentage growth of shoots in each week after treatment is in the cut angler of 0° which is equal to 17.78% at 7 days after teratment to 86.67%, yet, the growth in height and diameter of shoots is the lowest treatment.
