M.B.PLOUGH
|
Features:
It is tractor operated implement and it
consists of share point, share, mouldboard, landside, frog, shank, frame
and hitch system. The share point is of bar type and is made from high
carbon steel or low alloy steel. The share is also made from high carbon
steel or low alloy steel. Both are hardened and tempered to suitable
hardness (about 45 ARC). The working of the plough is controlled by
hydraulic system of the tractor. Mould board plough is a primary tillage
implement.

Uses:
This is used for primary tillage operations. It
cuts trash and buries it completely. It is also used for turning green
manure crop for decaying under the soil, which adds humus to the soil.
It is also used for turning and mixing compost, farmyard manure
or lime into the soil. |

REVERSIBLE TWO BOTTOM M.B PLOUGH |
|
Features
The two bottom reversible plough is a unique
implement, which is directly mounted to the tractor. This is a
hydraulically /mechanically operated basic implement for preparation
of land. It is very useful for primary tillage in hard and dry trashy
land. The Mould Board (M.B) retains their mirror finish at all time
contributing to well turned furrows. The plough has special wear
resistant steel bottoms with bar points for toughest ploughing jobs.
Bar point bottom ensures longer life as it can be extended or
reversed. The M.B bottom reversing mechanism is operated by a lever
provided on the distributor. When the implement is hitched, plough
bottom is free to rotate 180 degree along the axis of the hollow
shaft. |

DISC PLOUGH
|
Features:
The plough consists of common main frame,
disc beam assemblies, rockshaft category-1 or category-2, a heave spring
loaded furrow wheel and a gauge wheel. In some model disc plough is
designed to operate as 2, 3 or 4 bottoms, by adding or removing sub beams
the sub beam assemblies according to requirement. The disc angle ranges
from 40-450 to obtain the desired width of cut and the tilt
angle ranges from 15-25 0 for penetration. Disc plough is used
for primary tillage and it is specially used where M.B. Plough is not
useful such as hard and dry soil.

TYNE TYPE CULTIVATOR
|
Features:
Cultivator consists of a frame, tynes (fixed
or spring loaded) having reversible shovels and 3-pont hitch system.
Cultivators are primarily used for intercultural operation after the crop
has come up a few centimetres above the ground. But cultivator is also
used for opening the land, preparing the seed bed and sowing of the seeds
as well cultivators for the secondary tillage are available as animal
drawn and tractor drawn. In medium and light soil duck foot type
cultivators are also used for primary tillage operation.

4.5 DISC HARROW
|
Features:
The tractor mounted disc harrow consists of
two gangs of discs mounted one behind the other. The disc on front gang
throws soil outwards and the rear gang inward. Therefore, no soil remains
uncut by the offset disc harrow. Disc harrow is secondary tillage
implement. It is used after the primary tillage. It is used to break the
clods developed during primary tillage operation.

4.6
ROTAVATOR
|
Features:
It consists of a steel frame, 3-point hitch
system, a rotary shaft on which blades are mounted, power transmission
system and a gearbox. The blades are of L-shape, made from medium
carbon steel or alloy steel, hardened and tempered to suitable
hardness It uses the power from tractor PTO. Rotavator is used as both
primary and secondary tillage operations. A good seedbed and
pulverization of the soil is achieved in a single pass of the
rotavator. It is used in both dry land and wet land conditions. It is
also suitable for incorporating straw and manure in the field. The
power requirement will vary depending upon the width of the rotavator.

PADDY HARROW/PUDDLER |
|
Features:
Paddy Harrow is used for puddling for rice
field in wet condition. It consists of two gangs of disc mounted on
