4.0 TILLAGE IMPLEMENTS
4.1
M.B.PLOUGH
|
 |
|
Features:
It is a tractor-operated implement and consists
of share point, share, mould board, landslide, 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 HRC). The working of the plough is
controlled by hydraulic system and three-point linkage. Its bar-point
makes it suitable to break hardpan of the soil.

Uses:
Ploughs are 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. Compost, farmyard manure or lime when spread in the field, the
mould board plough is used for turning and mixing these materials in
the soil.
Cost of Machine : Rs.40,000/-

REVERSIBLE TWO BOTTOM M.B PLOUGH |
|
 |
|
Features:
The two furrow reversible mould board
plough is a unique implement, which is directly mounted to the
tractor. This is a mechanically/ hydraulically operated basic
implement for preparation of land. It is very useful for
primary tillage in hard and dry trashy land. The mould board
retains their mirror finish at all time contributing to well
turned pulverized 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 reverse 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. |

Uses:
The plough is used for primary tillage
operation. The plough bottoms are so arranged that they can be
quickly and readily changed to throw the furrow slice in one
direction, usually to the right side by
mechanically/hydraulically operated lever requiring less effort,
time and diesel consumption. Use of this plough avoids
formation of dead furrows, uneven and sunken spots in the field.
Cost of Machine : Rs.70,000/- |

4.3
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.

Weight (kg) : 236-376
Power requirement (hp/kW) : 25-50, tractor |
|
Uses:
Disc plough is used for primary tillage and is especially useful in
hard and dry, trashy, stony or stumpy land conditions and in soil
where scoring is a major problem |
|
Cost (Rs) : 30,000-45,000 |

 4.4
TYNE TYPE CULTIVATOR
 |
|
Features:
It consists of a frame, tynes with reversible
shovels, hitch system and heavy-duty springs. The function of spring
is to save the cultivator tynes from breaking when some hard object
comes in contact with the shovel or under the tyne. The shovels are
made of heat-treated steel for longer life. The implement is mounted
type and is controlled by the hydraulic system of the tractor.

Cultivators are used for seedbed preparation
both in dry and wet soils. It is also used for intercultural
operation by adjusting the tynes as per row to row distance. It is
also used for puddling purposes
.

4.5 DISC HARROW
 
|
|
|
Features:
It
consists of sturdy frame and gangs of discs each mounted on
a common shaft and can be classified into single and double action
(tandem). In tandem disc harrow, the discs on the front gang throw soil
outward and the rear gang inward. Therefore, no soil remains uncut by the
offset disc harrow. Discs are made from high carbon steel or alloy steel;
the cutting edges are hardened and tempered to suitable hardness. The
gangs can be moved in either direction on the hitch frame. The rear gang
can be moved the same amount as the front gang. When operating in orchards
or plantations, the harrow can be offset to the right or left, thus
enabling soil to be thrown towards or away from the trees. The
offset-feature makes it possible to work under low–hanging branches of
trees. Discs with notches on the outer rim are also available for
operation in weed-infested fields. Three point hydraulic linkage and
hydraulic control makes it highly maneuverable. It is available as trailed
type version.

|
Features:
It consists of a chain & sprocket type rotary
transmission, a rotary shaft, cover and protecting shield. It
takes drive from the power tiller transmission system. A rotary
shaft on which blades are mounted can rotate in low and high speed
through the rotary speed selection gear lever. Both the hatchet
and straight types of blades can be fitted on the rotary shaft
depending upon the use. |
