Initial Ideas Discussion

Problems:

1. Some palm trees are not straight; with the machine that we designed we will have problems with such trees.
2. In some farms, palm trees are so closed to each other. Our machine needs space available between palm trees.
3. The extend parts of the donut will not be supported enough to handle weights.
4. Our initial design will be very difficult to move for the farmer due to the donut radius.
5. Palm trees have different heights, so for example in the palm tree is 11 m height this will cause some bending and curve in the hydraulic beam due to the height of this palm tree.
6. Hydraulic beam is costly.
7. Hydraulic beam is not stable.
