In this study, the canola stalk cutting parameters including modulus of mass density of stalk, special work of useful cutting, coefficient of cutting useful work and crush resistance coefficient were examined. For the tests, testing machine Instron (Model Santam STM-5) with 50 N load cell was used. Cutting was performed with a saw-serrated cutting blade that was attached to the Instron movable jaw. Stems were cut at three diameter levels (1 to 3, 3 to 5 and more than 5 mm), three cutting speed levels (75, 115 and 150 mm/minute), three cutting angles (0°, 30° and 60°) and three replicates.
