Tractor-operated Machinery
Lug-wheel puddler: A tractor-mounted, lug-wheel
puddler of 1880-mm width has been developed for the
shallow-tilled saturated soils.
Its preliminary tests have
indicated its average operation speed of 2.
1 km/hr and
depth of operation at 126 mm, and its effective field
capacity is 0.
32 ha/hr and field efficiency is 80%.
It cost
of operation has been Rs 192/hr, including that of tractor
(Rs 185/hr).
