The main epigram of this paper is to overcome the labour shortage and to reduce time and money. Mainly cultivation of sugarcane involves three process - cutting of sugarcane into reliably smaller pieces, ploughing the field for sowing the sugarcane and sowing them in the sand. This paper proposes a piece of equipment which can perform the above mentioned three works simultaneously. In this paper, we come up with the use of pneumatic pistons for cutting the sugarcane, which is also attached to the equipment/planter. The planter consists of a plough setup and addition plough control at the back to cover the cane with sand after it is sowed in the sand.
