DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF

CONVENTIONAL TILLAGE EQUIPMENT
BY USING POWER SOURCE
OBJECTIVE
Design and development of Tillage equipment to reduce size, pulling
force and cost.
Investigate performance of Plough, Harrows Cultivators etc.
Investigate the effect of resultant forces of Soil on performance of
Agricultural Equipment.

RELEVANCE & SIGNIFICANCE OF WORK

Tillage equipment are very useful for farming. Power operated
equipment Reduce dependency of animal by using power source to
conventional equipment. It overcome drawback of regular tractor like cost,
size, etc.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Tillage equipment
There are so many equipment for agricultural land preparation, those
are conventional type and second is non-conventional. If we use
conventional equipment with power source it overcomes the drawback of
big Tractors. By analyzing agricultural equipment to reduce pulling force we
can reduce the requirement of power.

METHODOLOGY
1) To build a model of Agricultural equipments using any compatible
software like CATIA as per geometrical parameters.
2) To optimize performance parameters of this Agricultural equipments
model and to investigate the same using stress analysis
3) To validate results obtained by any analysis softwares can validate
experimentally by making actual model.

PROPOSED WORK
Design and Development of Tillage equipment.
Predict complete equipment performance
Pulling forces.
Stress analysis
Effect of various soil condition on performance of equipments.
