Paddy Transplanting by self propelled transplanter ensures timely operation, saving in cost and human drudgery. A detailed economics of both manual and machine transplanting was worked out based on the study done at K.V.K. (S.V.P.U.A. & T. Meerut), Pilibhit farm in 2013-14.The self propelled paddy transplanter gave net profit of Rs 1146 and Rs 1319 per hectare when annual use of machine was 300 h (one Season) and 500 h (two) season, respectively, in one year over manual transplanting of 115 hectare respectively. The field capacity, field efficiency and fuel consumption of the machine was 0.16 ha/ h, 60.02% and 2.87 l/ha respectively. Payback period for investment on the transplanted was 6.25years and one year when area covered was 20 and 115ha. The area of coverage by transplanted should be more than 20 ha per year to make the machine transplanting profitable in comparison to the manual transplanting.
