 Design and fabrication of “V”type Rotavator

Relevance:
Agriculture has been the backbone of the economy and it will continue to
remain. Agriculture is the science and art of farming including cultivating the soil, producing
crops and raising livestock. Generally, cultivation of any crop involves various steps like
ploughing, harvesting, sowing, and irrigation. Farmer has to use various agricultural
equipment’s and labours for caring out these steps, our purpose is to combine all the individual
tools to provide farmers with multipurpose equipment which implements all the scientific
farming techniques and specifications, suitable for all type of seed to seed cultivation with
minimum cost as possible. All this can be done in this same machine. Now we are in 21 th
century, so instead of using traditional technology we use modern which is helpful for save our
time and energy & quite increase our production.
Rotary tilling is a widely used tillage operation in Indian farming because
of its superior ability to mix, flatten and pulverize soil. However, the use of rotary tiller is
strongly restricted to "shallow" tillage because of its high energy requirements. Deep rotary
tillage using less energy has recently become a subject of wide interest to combat soil fatigue
caused by excessive use of chemicals among other reasons, and to convert paddy fields into
dry fields such as kale fields. Rotary Tiller or rotavator is a highly effective machine for
intensive tillage.

Literature review:-

1) Maheshwari, T.K. and Uday Veer Singh 2018. Tractor Drawn

Rotavator - A Comparative Study.
Rotavators perform well in suitable soil conditions. One rotary tillage
operation may be equivalent to several conventional tillage operations as far as the quality of
the seedbed is concerned (Verma et al., 1980). Rotary tillers can replace the plow, disk and
harrow (Manesh et al., 2002). A negative draft produced by the rotary action results in lower
power requirement, and soil compaction (Salokhe et al., 1994). The farmers have started using
rotavator for seed bed preparation and puddling operation (Avila et al., 1992). The local
manufacturers have started manufacturing rotavators.
The small scale manufacturers do not have the facilities for testing of
rotavators to access the quality and performance. So it was planned to undertake the testing of
a rotavator on uniform pattern. This study also aimed at investigating the effect of enamel
coating on C-shaped tines of a rotavator on power consumption, and how it will affect the
seedbed quality (Tojo et al., 1993). The results of this study will have practical significance
and be beneficial directly to the farmers.
