Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Land leveling is an important operation for farming. It has great advantages in ploughing, seeding, transplanting, and intercultural operations. The entire leveled field becomes ready to receive timely agricultural operations. Leveled field also facilitate the smooth operation of agricultural machines. Leveled field receives uniform penetration of irrigation water with high efficiency. The possibility of water logging and soil erosion is reduced considerably. It is operated to collect soil from high land and to dump in low land. The tractor mounted scrapper has been modified as portable so that it can be operated easily with the ordinary tractor. The length of cutting blade is 2.27 m which can grasp 2.41 m soil along with its side boundary controller. The performance of the leveler is found well and satisfactory.

Program Area: Farm Mechanization

Commodity: Product development

Objectives:

To design and modify the existing tractor mounted scraper.

Methodology:

Engineering drawing of existing tractor mounted scraper was done with the help of Auto-CAD software. Then it was modified and fabricated in BRRI research workshop as per specification. It was tested for leveling the soil in the field.

Achievement/Findings:

The tractor mounted scrapper has been modified as portable so that it can be operated easily with the ordinary tractor. Because, it needs less horse power (hp) to level the soil. Its cutting blade is 2.27 m. It can grasp soil from front with its 2.41 m side boundary controller. It was operated to collect soil from high land and to dump in low land. It leveled soil well. The performance of the leveler was found well and satisfactory.
