DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The purpose of this present disclosure is to provide farmer with multipurpose
agricultural equipment which implements all the scientific farming specifications and
technology to get maximum yield and good quality crops by reducing investment and cost
: fpif thej labour!? fherei-ar^^manyjtraotor/Pgw.e^ed gquipmejii^ whjjch are suitable and
economical only for more than 5 acres of agricultural land. There are many hand pulled

equipments which are only suitable for gardening purpose. In one embodiment, Inventor is making animal driven equipment is suitable for 1 acre to 3 acres of land it is both economical and modernised with.scientific methods. In another embodiment, the multipurpose agricultural equipment driven by a tractor, any vehicle or automatically using rgbot technology. The Majority of the Indian farmers are the land owners of 1 to 3 acres. Hence it is most suitable for Indian economy and farming techniques.
[0041] In the present embodiment, the multipurpose agricultural equipment comprises plurality of components. A Yoke, to reach the optimum depth and width of cut when plowing high draft power is required so the animals should be yoked close together. On a ploughing yoke the animals should be placed 90 cm apart (centre to centre) on the yoke shaft. If the ypke is too long (animals >90cm apart) a strip of unplowed land will be left at the centre during plowing, and if the yoke is too short (animals <90cm apart) the share cuts a narrow slice of unplpwed land. This means that it will take more time to plow a given area of land. Hence pur equipments requires a yoke of 6 feet in length.
[0042] A Beam: An average Indian ox will be having 5 feet in height and 6 feet in length. Hence for easy operation of the equipment a 9 feet long beam is required so that a safe distance is maintained between animal and the equipment.
[0043] A Plough: Compacted soils make it hard for crop roots to grow and to reach water and nutrients. They prevent water and air from moving into the soil. This can lower yields and make crops more susceptible to drought. If the soil is compacted, it is harder to till. If your soil is compacted, you shpuld lppsen it before starting with conservation agriculture. Construction is simple, sturdy & durable. It is useful fpr all soils- Also useful for ridging and clod breaking. It is drawn by a pair of bullocks.
[0044] A Handle: Handle acts as an armrest for farmer and also helps him in guiding the animal in straight path.
[00451 A Weeder Assembly: Further comprising plurality of units such as. a Weedicide containers: consists of weedicides which helps in avoiding of weed formation by dripping it along the path between the crop. A Weeder Frame:This small frame helps in the attachment of leveler and weeding equipment. A Weeder Blade, It removes the weeds by applying force on the plant such that the weeds are removed. Simultaneously during weeding weedicides are applied though holes at the bottom pf the container.
[0046] A Leveler Blade: Weeder blade is extended by attaching the leveler blades with the help pf fasteners.
[0047] A Spike Wheel: Spike wheels are used in order of preventing slip and to convert the linear animal drawn power into rotational mechanical energy.
[0048] A Seed Metering Disc: Cell feed mechanism. It is a mechanism in which seeds
are collected and delivered by a series of equally spaced cells engraved on the periphery of
a circular plate or wheel. Seeds can be easily classified based on its average diameter pf the
T Es'e'ecis, ^e^c=e^ou-r^ellLfeed:me^h^nism^cansis'ts:>of 'two types ofVells. A series of 14 mm
diameter and 8 mm depth cells are machined in order to pick large seeds and a series of 8

mm diameter and 4 mm depth is created in order to pick small seeds. The cells are designed such that the angle between one cell to another is 15 degrees, such that the seeds are placed at every 10 cm apart. If there is need of altering the distance between one plant to another plant, then close every alternative cells such that the seeds are placed at every 20 cm apart and close two alternative cells such that the seeds are placed at every 30 cm apart. This mechanism is the only mechanism in which all type seed to seed cultivation is possible and capable of operating under various seed spacing specification. Closing of the cells can be done by using any simple tape or plaster.
[0049] A Fertilizer Metering Disc: Fertilizer metering disc consists spikes in the circular disc which acts a stoper for the flow of the fertiler though the fertilizer metering container. The stoper allows the fertilizer flow for every 15 degree rotation in the disc.
[0050] A Shaft: Shaft is made up of a 120 cm long threaded rod of 10 mm diameter. It connects the two spike wheels on either side of the equipment and all the seed metering and fertilizer metering discs are mounted upon the shaft, such that when the wheel rotates, metering of seeds and fertilizer takes place.
[0051] A Seed Metering Container: Seeds are filled into the seed metering container with the help of hopper. Seeds are, lifted from the cell type mechanism of the seed metering
disc.
[0052] A Fertilizer Metering Container: Fertilizers are filled into the seed metering container with the help of hopper. Seeds are pushed frpm the stopper type mechanism of the fertilizer metering disc. Container is made up of CR sheet metal of gauge 16.
[0053] A Seed Hopper: Hopper is also made up of CR sheet metal of gauge 16. Seed hopper maintains a uniform and continuous flow of seeds in the seed metering container.
[0054] A Fertilizer Hopper; Hopper is also made up of CR sheet metal of gauge 16. Fertilizer hopper maintains a uniform and continuous flow of seeds in the fertilizer metering container.
[0055] A Furrow Opener: Shoe type furrow openers ensure deeper seed placement in moist zone for sowing under dry land condition. Shoe type furrow openers are provided for easy operation. The proper depth of seed and fertilizer needs to be maintained for the proper germination of the seeds. The depth of seed and fertilizer is controlled with the help of a stud on which four numbers of Nuts are given to control the depth. The seeds are to be sown at a depth of 2-3 cm and fertilizer to be placed at a depth of 3-4 cm. The depth control arrangement controls the depth of the seed and fertilizer.
[0056] A Seed Cum Fertilizer Frame: The frame is made of mild steel angle section and flats. It is strong enough to withstand all types of loads in working condition. All other parts of a seed drill are fitted to the frame.
