SYNOPSIS
The aim of our project is to design and fabrication of agriculture power weeder. In this work our team make
agricultural equipment which is useful for farmer, this equipment is known as power weeder. In India most of
people are farmer. For doing fieldwork maximum human power is used, but some present year needs of workers
are necessary but availability of workers are less for field work. So we will make power weeder. The weeder is
used for removing weeds in vegetable gardens, basins of orchard trees and Vineyard plantations. So work will
more complicated in less time. In general, petrol engines are employed in them. Also there are varieties of
attachments available in the market for the weeder making it a multi-purposeful machine.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The fuel (petrol) is filled in the fuel tank and the engine started by using the kicker attachment. The
output power of the engine is transfered to the wheel with the help of chain drive. After releasing the
clutch provided in handle the power weeder will move on the cultivate land. The handle is move
downward till the tool enters the cultivate land. The further downward movement of handle in power
weeder moves front by accelerating the weeder vehicle to plough the agriculture land.

ADVANTAGE
 Man power is less
 Low manufacturing cost
 Low operating cost
 Less maintance
 Semi skilled operator can operate the machine

APPLICATION
It is useful to farmers.
It is used small areas.
