4.1 M.B PLOUGH

 

MOULD BOARD PLOUGH

 

Features:

 

It is a tractor-operated implement and consists of share point, share, mould board, landslide, frog, shank, frame and three point 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 lever and three-point linkage. Its bar point makes it suitable to break hardpan of the soil.

4.2 TWO BOTTOM REVERSIBLE  M.B  PLOUGH

Features

 

The two bottom reversible plough is a unique implement, which is directly mounted to the tractor.  This is a hydraulically /mechanically operated basic implement for preparation of land.  It is very useful for primary tillage in hard and dry trashy land.  The Mould Board (M.B) retains their mirror finish at all time contributing to well turned 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 mould board bottom reversing 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.

4.3 DISC PLOUGH

 

Features

 

The plough consists of common mainframe, disc beam assemblies, rockshaft category –l or category -2, a heavy spring loaded furrow wheel and a gauge wheel. In some models disc plough is designed to operate as 2, 3 or 4 bottom, by adding or removing the sub-beam assemblies according to requirement. The disc angle ranges from 40 to 450 to obtain the desired width of cut and the tilt angle ranges from 15 to 250 for penetration. The discs of the plough are made of high carbon steel or alloy steel and the edges are hardened and sharpened. The discs are mounted on tapered roller bearings. Scrapers prevent soil build up on the discs in sticky soils. The furrow slice rides along the curvature and is pulverized to some extent before being thrown.

4.4 TYNE TYPE CULTIVATOR

                      

LIGHT DUTY RIGID TYNE CULTIVATOR

DENMARK TYPE SPRING LOADED TILLER

 

Features

 

Cultivator consists of a frame, tynes fixed with reversible shovels, 3-pont hitch system and heavy-duty springs. These cultivators may or may not be fitted with springs. The function of springs 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.

4.5  TRAILED OR MOUNTED TYPE DISC ARROW

 

Mounted Medium Duty Offset Disc Harrow

 

Features:

The tractor mounted disc harrow consists of two gangs of discs mounted one behind the other. The discs on the front gang throw soil outward and the rear gang inward. Therefore, no soil remains uncut by the offset disc harrow. The harrow consists of a sturdy frame, discs arranged in two gangs, and three-point linkage. Discs are important component of the harrow and 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 and makes it possible to work under low–hanging branches. 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.

4.6 DUCKFOOT  CULTIVATOR

 

Features:

 

The duckfoot cultivator consists of a box type steel rectangular frame, rigid tynes and sweeps. The sweeps are triangular in shape similar to foot of duck, hence called duckfoot cultivator. The sweeps are made from old leaf spring steel and fixed to tynes with fasteners, which makes them replaceable after being worn out or becoming dull. The tynes are made of mild steel flat and forged to shape.  It is a tractor-mounted implement and depth of operation is controlled by hydraulic system. The sweep cultivator is popular in black cotton soils. This cultivator is mostly used in hard soils for shallow ploughing.

4.7 ROTAVATOR

 

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.

4.8 PULVERISING ROLLER

 

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.
