“…A cultivator attachment with three different types of clod crushers: a square spike, round spike and a spiral arrangement of spike were analyzed on field and the better performance in terms of tilling quality of soil was obtained using square spike clod crusher attachment to the cultivator. The optimum values of clod MWD, field efficiency and fuel consumption were found as 13.64 mm, 78.37 % and 7.02 lit/ha respectively [10].…”

Clod formation following ploughing or disking is a major concern in India’s arid and semi-arid zones. Clod prevents seed - soil close contact and restrict the penetration of furrow openers used in the seed drilling. At present, the majority of the farmers in our country practice a small and marginal land system. Small-scale farmers can purchase small tractors, but smaller tillage implements suitable for mini tractors are not available in the market. To overcome the current problems in seedbed preparation, a mini tractor mounted clod crusher was developed. The developed implement was tested on the field and the data were analyzed statistically with ANOVA tests using computer software. The results showed that, overall best performance of the machine in terms of clod MMD, fuel consumption and field efficiency were found to be 9.25 mm, 7.696 l/h and 84.72 % at the forward speed of 3.0- 3.5 km/h with the dead weight of 100 kg respectively.

Proper selection of energy-efficient agricultural machinery helps to reduce drudgery, increase cropping intensity and reduce time required for field preparation. With conventional tillage implements, multiple passes are required to obtain desired seedbed which increase soil compaction due to repeated movement of tractor in field. With combined tillage implements two or more tillage implements are combined to reduce time and fuel energy required for seedbed preparation. In this paper, various researches on active-passive and passive-passive configurations of combined tillage implements have been discussed along with their working principles. It was found that these were associated with less draft, specific energy, and tire slippage compared to conventional implements which provides a sound basis for using them with suitable engine power to improve the power utilization of tractors. Hence, use of these implements could help to reduce soil compaction, labour, fuel cost as well as save time in preparing seedbed. More analytical studies and classical approaches are needed to predict energy requirements of these implements from the knowledge of individual energy requirements of conventional implements to help in proper matching of tractor-implement and also to develop decision support systems. Considering their promising outcomes, they will emerge as effective tools to improve agricultural mechanization.
