PROJECT OBJECTIVE
EARLIER FARMERS WERE USING TRADITIONAL FARMING
METHOD WHICH IS TIME CONSUMING, HARDWORKING AND
COSTLY. ALL MACHINES WERE USED IN FARMS ARE COSTLIER
AND NOT AFFORDABLE TO FARMERS, HENCE TO OVERCOME THIS
PROBLEM WE ARE WORKING ON THE PROJECT OF MINI
CULTIVATOR TILLER. SO IN ORDER TO INCREASE AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTIVITY, WE CAN USE MINI TILLER TO HELP SMALL SCALE
FARMERS. A MINI ROTATORY TILLER IS USED TO PLOUGH THE
LAND BY SERIES OF BLADES WHICH ARE USED TO SWIRL UP THE
EARTH.
INTRODUCTION
SOIL TILLER AND CULTIVATOR IS ONE OF THE MANY FARM
MECHANIZATION AND SOIL/ MINI TILLERS FREQUENTLY NAMED AS
WALKING TRACTORS HAS BEEN USED AS AN EQUIPMENT TO PREPARE/USE
FOR FARMING. THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION OF SOIL
TILLER AND CULTIVATOR IS A SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE USED IN SMALL
LANDS DUE TO ITS LIGHT WEIGHT (22-25 KG) AND LOW POWER (4.5-6 HP).
ANYBODY WOULD BE HANDLED THIS CULTIVATOR. IN MOST PART OF
INDIA, FARMS REMAIN AT CANTER OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL
DEVELOPMENT AND THE MACHINE WHICH IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR
THOSE FARMS. ALLY DESIGNED FOR THOSE FARMS. ACCORDING TO INDIAN
GOVERNMENT SURELY THERE ARE 65-70% OF FARMERS HAVING LESS
THAN 2.5-3 ACRES FARMING LAND AND 50-60% FARMERS HAVING INCOME
BELOW 1.5-2 LACKS PER ANNUM. THOSE FARMERS CAN EASILY AFFORD
THIS TYPE OF MACHINE.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE

Engine is placed at top of model

and with the help of engine belt of
pulley going to rotated and with
help belt chain is rotated. The wheel
shaft is rotated with the help chain
and wheel base with blades are
going to start its rolling motion, due
to tractive effort, plough is moving
forward in linear direction. For
support and changing the direction
of plough handle is placed.
 Contd……
MINI TILLER CULTIVATOR QUICKLY BREAKS UP THE DIRT & HARD CLAY SOIL TO PREPARE
IT FOR PLANTING. IT HAS DUAL ROTARY TINES THAT DIGS IN LARGE OR NARROW SPACES
TO FLIP SOIL THOROUGHLY. AN INNOVATIVE TRANSMISSION DESIGN AND POWERFUL 2
STROKE PETROL ENGINE MAKES THIS SMALL TILLER DELIVER HEAVY-DUTY
PERFORMANCE. A MULTIPURPOSE MACHINE TO MAKE DIGGING, ROTOTILLING &
WEEDING FAST, EASY & FUN.
ONE MACHINE, MULTIPLE USAGES
VERSATILE - WEEDING, MIXING, DIGGING
FORGED TINES FOR SUPERIOR TILLING AND LONG LIFE.
ERGONOMIC HANDLE DESIGN WITH OVERHEAD CONTROLS.
SPECIFICATION

 ENGINE DISPLACEMENT: 2 Stroke 52cc

 MAX POWER: 1.65kw/6500 RPM
 TILLING DEPTH/WIDTH: 5-12 cm/30 cm
 WEIGHT: 22-25 KG
 FUEL TANK CAPACITY: 1.2L
 FUEL MIXTURE RATIO: Petrol Two-cycle Oil
(30:1)
 STARTING SYSTEM: Recoil Starter
 CARBURETOR: Diaphragm
 FUEL: Petrol
INNOVATION AND benefits

 Easy to operate and maintain.

 Multiple usages like weeding, mixing and digging.
 Cheaper.
 Less weight.
 Easy portable .
 Require less room for storage.
 They have relatively low maintenance costs as compared to tractors.
 They are ideal for small areas where the plants are planted in narrow rows, as the
machines can be easily drive between these rows without damaging or destroying
the plants.
MARKET POTENTIAL AND COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE

Since no cheap mini cultivator tiller is available for rural areas. Such a
cheap and simple tiller would surely create a market boom. It can easily
portable from one place to another. It can easily used by farmer
himself. Mass production can further reduced the cost and lead to
sustained profitable venture for the manufacturer.
SAFETY TIPS :
 Never start the engine in a closed building. Deadly fumes can build up.
 Keep hands and feet clear of all moving parts.
 Do not operate in wet or slippery conditions. This is especially important for electric
models.
 Be sure the depth regulator is engaged before starting the tiller. Failing to do this
could cause the machine to lurch quickly away from you.
 Disengage the tiller and stop the engine to inspect for damage if you hit an
obstruction. Repair any damage before resuming.
 Never leave the machine running and unattended.
 Always disengage the tines when turning or transporting the tiller.
 Never attempt to lift the tiller by yourself if transporting to a distant location. Drive
the machine up secure ramps or ask for assistance if it must be lifted. Tie machine
securely to prevent rolling.
