  1. Types of Tillage Equipment

  2. Plough • The plough is the farm equipment that is as old as farming. A country plough was designed to break up and level soil, even in heavy crop residue. The modern plough has several models to work for different soil conditions. It is used to open furrows as well as killing the weeds.

  3. Rotavator or Rotary Tiller • Popularly known as Rotavator in India and worldwide, a rotary tiller is used to turn, mix and aerate the soil to increase nutrients count, making it perfect for seeding and harvesting. This tilling machine is made with the assembled set of rotating blades also called rotors connected to the engines that break through the soil to turn, mix and aerate the soil.

  4. Power Harrow • This is another significant piece of agricultural machinery used in tillage to break, turn, refine and levelling of soil all over the farming area to turn it into a perfect seedbed. A power harrow is capable to work in even the harshest or most solid grounds when it comes to preparing a perfect land for plantation.

  5. Cultivator • A cultivator works for preparing the soil or seedbed in dry and wet both types of soils. It is also used for puddling purposes. It stirs and pulverizes the soil, before planting and also remove weeds to aerate and loosen the soil. A cultivator is also used for easy application of fertilizer and pesticides through the secondary tillage process. This tillage equipment is useful in subsoil cultivation and eliminates the use of plough even for hard soil conditions.

  6. Disc Seed Drill • This multipurpose farm machinery works for spreading seeds and fertilizer in the fields. The seeds drill consists of multiple boxes for seeds and fertilizer attached with tubes. The tubes are used to spread crop seeds directly into the soil.
