Features: The
seed cum fertilizer drill consists of a seed box, fertilizer box, seed and
fertilizer metering mechanisms, seed tubes, furrow openers, seed and
fertilizer rate adjusting lever 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 drop them in the seed tube attached to the furrow opener. By shifting the
rollers sideways, the length of the grooves exposed to the seed, can be
increased or decreased and hence the amount of seed sown can be varied. |

Features: Zero-till-drill consists of frame,
seed box, fertilizer box, seed metering mechanism, fertilizer metering
mechanism’, seed tubes, furrow opener seed/fertiliser
adjusting mechansim and transport cum power
transmitting wheel. The frame is made from mild steel box section. The tynes are mounted with the help of clamps, to obtain
infinite row spacing. The main difference between zero-till drill and
conventional drill is that it has inverted T-type furrow opener fixed on the tynes instead of reversible shovels type furrow openers.
The main advantage of inverted t-type furrow openers is non-formation of
clods, lower draft requirement and easier penetration in the soil. |

5.3 RAISED BED PLANTER
|
Features: It
consists of a seed box, fertiliser box, seed and fertiliser metering mechanism, 3-ridgers, chain,
sprockets, transmission wheels, seed/fertiliser
cut-off levers and rollers for compacting the beds.
The planters form the flat ridges on which seeds are sown. As seeds are sown
on the ridges hence root growth is better and increased yield is obtained.
The furrows formed are used for irrigation purpose. It is suitable for sowing wheat, maize,
peas etc. Vegetable seed can also sown by this planter. |

Features: It is a whole stick sugarcane cutter planter and
consists of ridger body attached to frame, sett cutting unit, fertilizer application unit, chemical
application unit, sett covering unit and seed box.
The whole planter carries its total weight on two rubber tyres.
While in transportation mode, wheel allows the machine to be transported to
the planting site and while planting, load is carried by the wheels, which
ensure desired depth of penetration and weight of the machine making tractor
hydraulic lift free. Cutting of the cane into |

5.4 MAT TYPE RICE TRANSPLANTER
Features:
It is a single wheel driven and fitted with diesel engine. The machine
is riding type and 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. A propeller shaft from the gear box provides
power to the transplanting mechanism mounted over the float. 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. Fixed fork
with knock out lever type planting fingers (cranking type) are moved by a four
bar linkage to give the designed locus to the tip of the planting finger. It is used to transplant paddy in the puddled field. Self-propelled mat type paddy transplanters are also available.

Features: The
machine consists of seedling tray, seat for the operator, furrow opener,
compaction wheels, finger guide tunnel, picker wheel type metering mechanism.
Picking forks has spring mounted rubber flappers, which opens before passing
through the tunnel and closes during its passage.
These flappers open again at the bottom end of the tunnel to release the
seedlings in a furrow. The inclined wheels compact the soil around the
seedlings. Two persons one for each row sitting on the machine is required to
place the seedlings in the flappers when these open at the top position. The
root side of the seedlings is kept towards the operator. |
