5.0 SOWING AND FERTILISER APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
|
|
|
|
Features: The seed cum fertilizer drill consists of a seed box, fertilizer box, seed and fertilizer metering mechanisms, seed/fertiliser tubes, furrow openers, seed and fertilizer rate adjusting lever, chain, sprockets, and transport cum power transmitting wheel. The fluted rollers are driven by a shaft which gets power from wheels. Fluted rollers fixed in the seed box, receive the seeds into longitudinal grooves and drops them in the seed tube attached to the furrow openers. The amount of seed to be dropped can be varied by shifting the rollers sideways. Fertiliser rate can be varied by increasing or decreasing the opening provided at the bottom of the fertiliser box with the help of a lever |

Features: Zero-till-drill consists of frame, seed box, fertilizer box, seed metering mechanism, fertilizer metering mechanism, seed tubes, furrow openers, seed and fertiliser adjusting lever and transport cum power transmitting wheels. The frame is made from mild steel box section. The inverted-T type furrow openers are mounted on the tynes fixed on the tool bar with the help of nuts and bolts. They can be adjusted as per the row-row spacing. The T-type furrow openers have lower draft requirement and can easily penetrate into the soil. It is used for sowing wheat crop in unprepared field after harvesting of paddy. It saves time, cost by avoiding tillage operation. It also conserves moisture as no tillage operation is done. It only opens a strip where seed is dropped. |

|
Features: Strip-till-drill is used for sowing wheat after paddy without any prior seed bed preparation. It saves 50-60% fuel and 65-75% time as compared to conventional method. The machine also helps to increase yield because of timely sowing of crop. Rotor attachment can also be used for puddling operation. It consists of standard seed drill with rotary attachment mounted in the front. The rotary system has C-type blades, which cut a 75 mm wide strip in the front of the furrow opener. Thus for every row, 125 mm of the strip is left untilled and only 40 percent of area is tilled. Tilling and sowing is done simultaneously. |

5.7 MAT TYPE RICE TRANSPLANTER
Features:
The machine is riding type single wheel driven and fitted with diesel engine.It transplants seedlings from mat type nursery in eight rows in a single pass. The drive wheel receives power from the engine through V-belt, cone clutch and gearbox. The tray containing mat type nursery for rows is moved sideways by a scroll shaft mechanism, which converts rotary motion received from the engine through belt-pulley, gear and universal joint shaft into linear motion of a rod connected to the seedling tray having provision to reverse the direction of movement of tray after it reaches the extreme position at one end. It is used to transplant paddy in the puddled field. Self-propelled mat type paddy transplanters are also available.
