FEM has high potential to be applied in other areas, such as in agricultural engineering. This paper aims to present a review of the FEM applications in these agricultural engineering areas. One of the main numerical methods used in modeling and simulations is the finite element method (FEM). This research is focused on agricultural mechanization, agricultural product processing, since these are agricultural engineering areas with highest number of publications using FEM. The 3D-dimensional model of Multi - purposed cutting machine was created in SolidWorks 2021 and then the stress analysis was carried out using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to obtain optimum dimensions of different parts and to analyze the maximum stress and deformation in each component of the system. FEM enables to optimize and simulate the complex agricultural machinery and to investigate the stresses and deformations induced in the parts well before product development to avoid failure in the later phase of field evaluation.
