Author(s): MM Pakhare, SS Gujar and SH Thakare
Abstract: A small tractor operated folding type stubble collector was developed by Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Dr. PDKV, Akola. Techno-economic performance evaluation of small Tractor operated folding type stubble collector was out carried during the study. Implement was tested in the field for maize and sorghum crop residues. Spacing between two adjacent tines was 10 cm. The working width was 180 cm and depth of operation was 5 cm. For stubble collection operation, average fuel consumption and average tractor wheel slip of the machine were found 3.21 lit/ha and 7.75 per cent respectively The effective field capacity, theoretical field capacity and field efficiency of implement was found to be 0.29 ha/h, 0.39 ha/h and 75.91 per cent respectively. The average collection efficiency was found to be 83.61 and 78.96 per cent. The cost of operation for stubble collection was Rs. 816.49/ha. The overall performance of the small tractor operated folding type stubble collector during the operation of stubble collection was found to be satisfactory.
