The objective of this research is to develop a mechanized production system which enables to reduce hours as well as improve the working conditions for steep sloping citrus orchards that are located on the slope steepness 15 to 25deg. During the research the following activities were performed: (1) Investigation on the present situation of citrus production and a mechanized production system for steep sloping orchards. (2) Development of fundamental techniques required for a mechanized production system. (3) Evaluation on reducing hours and hardness of work by a mechanized production system. (4) Analyzing the process of selecting operation systems for citrus production.
