Farm Equipment

Disk plows usually have three or more individually
mounted concave disks that are inclined backward to achieve

maximum depth. They are particularly adapted for use in hard,
dry soils, shrubby or bushy land, or on rocky land. Disk tillers,
also called harrow plows or one-way disk plows, usually
consist of a gang of many disks mounted on one axle.
A cultivator is
any
of
several
types
of farm
implement used for secondary tillage. One sense of the name
refers to frames with teeth (also called shanks) that pierce the
soil as they are dragged through it linearly. Another sense
refers to machines that use rotary motion of disks or teeth to
accomplish a similar result. The rotary tiller is a principal
example.
Cultivators stir and pulverize the soil, either before planting
(to aerate the soil and prepare a smooth, loose seedbed) or
after the crop has begun growing (to killweedscontrolled
disturbance of the topsoil close to the crop plants kills the
surrounding weeds by uprooting them, burying their leaves to
disrupt theirphotosynthesis, or a combination of both). Unlike
a harrow, which disturbs the entire surface of the soil,
cultivators are designed to disturb the soil in careful patterns,
sparing the crop plants but disrupting the weeds.
Cultivators of the toothed type are often similar in form
to chisel plows, but their goals are different. Cultivator teeth
work near the surface, usually for weed control, whereas chisel
plow shanks work deep beneath the surface, breaking
up hardpan. Consequently, cultivating also takes much less
power per shank than does chisel plowing.
Small toothed cultivators pushed or pulled by a single person
are used as garden tools for small-scale gardening, such as for
the household's own use or for smallmarket gardens. Similarly
sized rotary tillers combine the functions of harrow and
cultivator into one multipurpose machine.
Cultivators are usually either self-propelled or drawn as an
attachment behind either a two-wheel tractor or fourwheel tractor. For two-wheel tractors they are usually rigidly
fixed and powered via couplings to the tractors' transmission.
For four-wheel tractors they are usually attached by means of
a three-point
hitch and
driven
by
apower
takeoff (PTO). Drawbar hookup is also still commonly used
worldwide. Draft-animal power is sometimes still used today,

being somewhat common in developing nations although rare
in more industrialized economies.
Potato Planter Features

1. The potato planting machine is a multifunctional planter. It
can ditch and fertilize, finishing the complete process of
sowing,
ridging
forming,
planting and plastic membrane
mulching.
2. Our potato planter can meet the requirements of different
ares, the natural environments, geographical features, the
climates, soils and agriculture demands.
3. We apply the advanced technology to cultivator of potatoes

and test their mechanical performance again and again, they
are the successfully improved type.
4. This machine has the features of compact structure, good
mobility, strong adaptability, simple maintenance.
Potato harvesters are machines that harvest potatoes.

They work by lifting the potatoes from the bed using a share.
Soil and crop are transferred onto a series of webs where the
loose soil is sieved out. The potatoes are moved towards the
back of the harvester on to a separation unit and then (on
manned machines) to a picking table where a people pick out

by hand the stones, clod, haulm and reject clod. The potatoes
then go on to a side elevator and into a trailer or a potato box.
A disc
harrow is
a farm
implement that
is
used
to cultivate the soil where crops are to be planted. It is also

used to chop up unwanted weeds or crop remainders. It
consists
of
many iron or steel discs which
have
slight concavity and are arranged into two or four sections.

When viewed from above, the four sections would appear to
form an "X" which has been flattened to be wider than it is tall.
The discs are alsooffset so that they are not parallel with the
overall direction of the implement. This is so they slice the
ground they cut over a little bit to optimize the result. The
concavity of the discs as well as their being offset causes them

to loosen and pick up the soil they cut.
