Paper Details

Since 1960 the technology is being used in agriculture sector. India haveapproximate 80% if small andmarginal agriculture land holders (farmers). Small land farming (less than 5 acres) has limitations with respect to theuse of existing instruments which are designed for comparatively bigger farms. Presently low powered tractors and theirattachments are being used.eg. Cultivator,rotavator and sowing unit etc. In farming the seedbed preparation is the keyprocedure which includes removing of residual crop, spreading compost manure, cultivating and loosening of hard land.Presently all these processes are carried out separately. This leads to loss of time and increase in cost for seedbedpreparation.This project an attempt is made to reduce the time and cost required for seedbed preparation. designing attachment tothe existing rotavator unit which will combine three operations i.e. Cultivation, spreading of compost manure andmixing- loosening land by rotavator. This attachment will reduce the cost and time for seedbed preparation.This paper deals with design analysis and optimization of single pass seedbed preparation attachment for low poweredtractors.
