Features:
It is tractor operated implement and it
consists of share point, share, mould board, 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.

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 centimeters
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.

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.

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. Specification: Weight (kg) : 230-310 Working

|
Features: It consists of a steel frame with three point hitch
system, a rotary shaft on which blades are mounted, power transmission
system, and gearbox. The blades are of L-shape, made from medium carbon steel
or alloy steel, hardened and tempered to suitable hardness. The PTO of
tractor drives the rotavator blades. Rotary motion
of the PTO is transmitted to the shaft carrying the blades through gearbox
and transmission system. A good seedbed and pulverization of the soil is
achieved in a single pass of the rotavator. The
power requirement will vary depending upon the width of the rotavator. The horse power of the tractor used will
depend on the size of the rotavator. |

Features Pulverizing
roller is an attachment to a commercially available cultivator. The pulverizing
roller consists of star wheels, central shaft, pulverizing members, mounting
link and depth controlling wheel. The pulverizing members are similar in
shape to lawn mower blades and are inserted in the cast star wheels in such a
way that it forms helical shape and progressively come in contact with soil
and breaks it. The roller is attached to the cultivator with the help of two
mounting links having bearing housing on one side and tensile springs on
other side. |
