b. Side View
b. Side angle (disc angle) – angle the disc makes with the
direction of travel to make the disc cut the proper
width and allow the disc to rotate (42° – 45°).
Determine the hectares plowed per hour when a tractor is operating at 6.4
kph and is pulling four 36-cm moldboard bottoms at a depth of 20 cm.
How many hectares can be plowed in 10 hours if field efficiency is 78
percent? If the soil is clay loam, what is the draft required working the
soil? Draft hp requirement? Tractor hp requirement?
Solution:
SWEff
C= where: C = Field Capacity, Ha/hr
10
S = Speed, Kph
W = Width of cut, m
Eff = Field Efficiency, decimal
Ds = SpecificDraftxWxd ) where:
Ds = Draft, kg
Specific Draft = Kg/cm2 from Table 1
W = width of cut, cm
D = depth of cut, cm
Da xS
Hp(draft ) = where: Da = Adjusted Draft, Kg
274
S = Speed, Kph
e. Tractor Horsepower:
46.8 hp
Hp(tractor ) = = 58.5 hp
0.8
Sample Problem 2:
Solution:
30.5 hp
d. Hp(tractor) = = 38 hp
0.8
Note: For measuring the width of cut, gang angle shall be set at 18°.
2. Spike-tooth harrow – consists of long rigid spikes clamped or
welded to cross bars on a staggered arrangement to attain
maximum stirring and raking of the soil. The cross bars can be
rotated to change the angle of the teeth (Fig. 8).
Rotary tillers are suited for both dry and wet land operations.
