DRYLAND PEG WEEDER
|
|
Features:
The dry land weeder (peg type) is manually
operated weeder suitable for operation between the crop rows. It
consists of a roller, which has two mild steel discs joined by mild
steel rods. The small diamonds shaped pegs are welded on the rods in
a staggered fashion. The complete roller assembly is made of mild
steel. The V shaped blade follows the roller assembly and is mounted
on the arms... The height of the blade can be adjusted according to
the working depth. The arms are joined to the handle assembly, which
is made from thin walled pipes. The height of the handle can also be
adjusted according to the requirement of the operator. For removing
weeds it is repeatedly pushed and pulled in between the crop rows in
the standing position. The diamonds shaped pegs penetrate into the
soil and the rolling action pulverize the soil. The blade in the
push mode penetrates into the soil and cuts or uproots the weeds.

WHEEL HAND HOE
|
|
Features:
The wheel hand hoe is a widely accepted weeding
tool for doing weeding and interculture in row crops. It is a long
handled tools operated by pushing and pulling action. The number of
wheel varies from one to two and the diameter depends upon the
design. The frame has provision to accommodated different types of
soil working tools such as, straight blade, reversible blades,
sweeps, V -blade, tyne cultivator, pronged hoe, miniature furrower,
spike harrow (rake) etc. It can be operated by a single person. All
the soil working components of the tool are made from medium carbon
steel and hardened to 40-45 HRC. For operation, the working depth
of the tool and handle height is adjusted and the wheel hoe is
operated by repeated push- pull action which allows the soil working
components to penetrate into the soil and cut/uproot the weeds in
between the crop rows. With this action, the weeds also get buried
in the soil.

CONO WEEDER
|
|
Features:
The weeder consists of two rotors, float, frame
and handle. The rotors are cone frustum in shape, smooth and
serrated strips are welded on the surface along its length. The
rotors are mounted in tandem with opposite orientation. The float,
rotors and handle are joined to the frame. The float controls
working depth and does not allow rotor assembly to sink in the
puddle. The cono weeder is operated by pushing action. The
orientation of rotors create a back and forth movement in the top 3
cm of soil and helps in uprooting the weeds.

POWER TILLER OPERATED SWEEP TYNE CULTIVATOR
|
|
Features:
This machine has been specially designed for
operation with a power tiller of 5-8 hp (4.5-6.0 kW) to perform
interculture operations in standing crop in soybean, sorghum, bengal
gram, pigeon pea etc where the row spacing is wide enough for the
power tiller to pass without damaging the plants. A depth control
wheel is provided at its rear for maintaining uniform depth of
operation. It is suitable for medium and light soils. It is
provided with a ground wheel for operating the metering mechanism.
Some of its major components are the main frame with hitch system,
handle, and drive wheel and tynes.
