Small Tractor Drawn Broad Bed Furrow Maker

During preparation of sowing season, there is an acute shortage of labour, which causes delay in sowing of crop which ultimately results in a reduction in yield Bed making operation is one of the important tillage operations which control water logging problem which reduce the crop yield. There is a need of such machine which overcome the economic constraints of farmer and can perform bed making operation. Another limitation is that about 90 percent of farmers fall in the category of marginal, small and semi-medium land holding. They could not offer heavy price of big tractors and implements. Big tractors operated machineries are not suitable for small and scattered land holdings since it gives low field efficiency in small fields. Field efficiency of Broad bed furrow maker was about 77 %, more than that of manually bed making method. The working of bed making mechanism was satisfactory and desirable height of sowing was obtained.
