Indonesia is one of the largest tropical countries in the world. With its large land and strategic location, Indonesia allocates around 63% of its land for forestry either for production, conservation, or other purposes. In fact, forestry is one of the biggest contributors for Indonesia’s economic growth. Land preparation is one of the most important process in forestry. There are many crucial steps incorporated in this land preparation process. One of which is the land tilling step. This step usually has several problems such as the need for labor, long tilling time, and the condition of the land itself. These problems will reduce the time efficiency of tree planting for forestry. Therefore, a solution is needed to be able to solve these kinds of problems. This can be achieved by means of mechanization in land tilling process such as using a crusher bucket. The design process of the crusher bucket itself consists of several steps. Design and requirement objectives will be used to determine some alternative designs. These alternative designs are then developed into a concept design. Some calculation and decision-making processes are incorporated to build a detailed design from the concept design which will be further analyzed with a finite element method to decide whether the current design is satisfactory enough for operational load. The final step of the design process is the manufacturing process development and technical drawing. The current design that has been developed already satisfies design objectives and requirements. It is shown that the safety factor from finite element analysis showed a number above 1 so the design is considered safe to be used for operational load.
