The green-skinned sugarcane from Xiantao city in Hubei province was used as the test material. The peeling and cutting characteristics in the internode and node of the green-skinned sugarcane on the computer control electronic universal testing machine was studied with the home-made blade of 15° angle and the fixture. The test results showed that, when peeling the internode part of the sugarcane stalk, the blade load first increased and then decreased. When peeling the node part of the sugarcane stalk, the blade load first increased and then decreased, but it soon increased again and decreased after. When cutting off the internode and node parts of the sugarcane stalk, blade load showed an increasing trend.
