3. ROTARY TILLER

4. FEATURES OF ROTARY TILLER Rotary tiller is a secondary tiller implement which provides better soil pulverization than conventional/traditional tillage methods. Fieldking Rotary tiller has the following features : • Blades used in Fieldking rotary tiller are made up of Boron steel 28MNB5 material which gives it the effective pulverization feature. • Rotary tiller blades are helically arranged to give it added benefit of efficient cutting operations. • Rotary tiller is provided with regular and robust (heavy duty)frames as well as gear box options. • Planck assembly /trailing board of Rotary tiller is provided with shocker assembly to keep the board in stable position while moving over different parts of fields and encountering obstacles. • Rotary tiller is provided with single speed and Multi-2 speed as well as Multi-4 speed options for operating the rotary tiller according to user’s preferences, • PTO Shaft provided with Fieldking Rotary tiller is of shear bolt type with clutch type option available.

5. Benefits of Rotary Tiller Major benefit of rotary tiller is that it destroys weeds , paddy stubbles , sugarcane, maize and cotton stubbles completely Rotary tiller is also beneficial in cutting previous crop residues into small fragments and burying into soil to increase fertility of soil for next crop. Rotary tiller provides better pulverization of soil than traditional tillage equipments. Rotary tiller use is helpful in preparing the field in lead amount of time and thereby the soil moisture content can be efficiently used for next crop. Rotary tiller finds usage in intercultural operations such as horticulture and cultivation as cost of operation is less which saves energy and fuel consumption. Rotary tiller blades utilizes the same rotary motion of the tires of tractor hence it helps tractor to push ahead with minimal tyre friction.
