SINGLE WHEEL PLOUGH DRIVEN BY AN IC ENGINE

ABSTRACT

In order to meet the food requirements of the growing population and rapid industrialization,
modernization of agriculture is inescapable. Mechanization reduces unit cost of production
through higher productivity and input conservation. The problem arises from the fact that
workers available to work in farmlands are insufficient. And as a result most of the fields are
left uncultivated. The middle class farmers cannot bear the high cost of tractors available in
the market. Most middle class farmers have small land holdings and to buy a tractor for
serving their need is uneconomical. Costs of tractor available in the market are in terms of
lakhs. Owing to the problems mentioned above our motive was to develop a single wheel
plough based on an IC engine. The single wheel plough can be used in custom applications
and remote areas, where a normal tractor cannot be used. And that the cost of the plough
should be affordable to the middle class farmers. Thus our objective was to design and
fabricate a single wheel plough based on Ic engine that is easy to operate and should come
with an affordable price so that middle class farmers would not find any problem buying
them.
