 ABSTRACT

Agricultural practices require various implements. The implements are manually operated as well as tractor operated. Many of these implements are inconvenient for small farmers (upto 1-2 ha) to use in their filed. The manual methods are also time consuming, labour consuming. So there is need to develop a tool which will be useful for the small formers and one can perform the various operations. So a tool was developed to overcome these problems named “Manually operated multipurpose farm tool”. As the name it is operated manually, and perform various operations. Manual method of seed planting, results in low seed placement, spacing, efficiencies and serious drudgeries for the farmer. The weeding operations when done by traditional methods it causes non-uniformity, time consuming and drudgeries to human body. Peasant farmers can do much to increase food production especially grains, if drudgery can be reduced or totally removed from their farming operations. To achieve the best performance, the above limits needs to be optimized by developing proper designed tool which can perform several operations and selection of the components required on the machine to suit the need of operations.
