A small-scale maize harvester with a harvester header, a chain conveyor, a driving power unit, and a five-wheel tricycle was designed and manufactured for developing nations. The components were fabricated, and the gadgets were assembled on the bike. The performance of the small-scale maize harvester was assessed at a moisture level of 15% in the kernels (wet basis). The engine was run at three different rotational speeds: 1347, 1521, and 1937 rpm, with the harvester moving at an average speed of 0.617 km.hr-1. The physical qualities of maize had a significant influence on the testing experiment (p0,05). The greatest machine capacity was 0.05 ha.hr-1, with a driving efficiency of 97.30 percent and picking and conveying efficiencies of 84.11 percent and 98.21 percent, respectively. However, it was discovered that when engine speed increased, the machine noise level reduced. The motor speed also has an impact on selecting and transporting efficiency. Most smallholder farms are found to be appropriate for the intended equipment.
