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.

6.2 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.

6.3 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.

6.4 POWER TILLER
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.

6.5 SELF-PROPELLED
POWER WEEDER
Features
A diesel engine operates the weeder. The engine power is transmitted
to ground wheels through V belt-pulley. A tail wheel is provided at
the rear to maintain the operating depth. Weeding is done by the
rotary weeding attachment. The rotary weeder consists of three rows of
discs mounted with 6 numbers of curved blades in opposite directions
alternatively in each disc. These blades when rotating enable cutting
and mulching the soil. The width of coverage of the rotary tiller is
500 mm and the depth of operation can be adjusted for weeding and
mulching the soil in the cropped field.
