Farm Mechanization
One-way
disc
Disc Plows
can ride over stumps
or obstacle in the soil
power requirement
is less than a
moldboard
Fan
Cone Type
Cone type
produces a cone shaped pattern of spray
could be hollow or solid cone
best suited for spraying crops because it produces a
spray in which droplets approach the leaves from
several angles.
pressure is high and then orifice is small.
Cone type (2)
Fan Type
produces a flat pattern
best suited for spraying flat surfaces as in
the application of herbicides
pressure is low and the orifice is large
Fan Type (2)
Chemical Nozzle Pressure Application
Type
Insecticides Hollow High apply 85% to run-
cone off
Fungicides Hollow High apply to 85% run-
cone off
Herbicides Fan- Low Apply to glisten
type
Sprayer Calibration
For a given sprayer, the following factors
should be measured:
Nozzle discharge at different pumping rates
(L/min)
Effective working width or swath (m)
Walking speed (m/min)
GRASS / BRUSH CUTTER
Brushcutter
a powered garden or agricultural tool used to trim
weeds and other foliage not accessible by a lawn
mower or slasher
It consists of:
◦ A power unit held close to the body.
◦ A pole through which the power is transmitted.
◦ A rotary cutting head at the opposite end of the pole to the
power unit.
Parts
Safe Use of Grass/Brush Cutters
PUMPS
Pump
device used to lift or transfer water from
one source to another
Applications
◦ supply water for conveyance canal by gravity
irrigation
◦ provide pressure for sprinkler and drip
irrigation
◦ provide pressure in applying chemicals into
irrigation system
Power Drive for Water Pumps
electric motor
ICE
◦ gasoline engine
◦ diesel engine

Pump Types
according to use according to
a. shallow-well method of
b. deep-well operation
according to design a. rotary
a. variable displacement b. reciprocating
b. positive displacement c. centrifugal
d. jet
e. airlift
General Pump Classifications
(According to Use)
shallow-well pumps
◦ suction-lift pumps
◦ are normally installed above ground, on or
near the top of the well casing.
deep-well pumps
◦ installed in the well casing with the pump
inlets submerged below the pumping level
◦ inlets are always under a positive head and do
not require suction to move or pump the water
General Pump Classifications
(According to Design)
Positive Displacement Pump
a. Rotary - uses gears, vanes, lobe, or screw to trap and convey
fluid from inlet to the outlet of the pump.
b. Reciprocating - uses a back and forth motion of mechanical
parts such as piston or diaphragms to pressurize the fluid.
Variable Displacement Pump
a. Centrifugal - uses a centrifugal force imparted to the fluid by
one or more rotating elements called impellers to increase the
kinetic energy & pressure energy of the fluid.
Rotary Pump
Types
◦ Wheeled type - pneumatic wheels or steel cage wheels
are used
◦ Track type (Crawler type) - fitted with full or half
tracks instead of pneumatic wheels
Wheeled type
Track Type
2. Walk-behind
Types
◦ Trailing type - rice combine harvester
mounted at the rear of the tractor.
◦ Front-mounted - rice combine harvester
mounted at the front of the tractor
PADDY SEED CLEANER
Paddy Seed Cleaner
Oscillation / Vibration
◦ process where the screens move back and forth through a given axis or
shake to separate the large and small size foreign matters from the seed
mass
Blowing
◦ process of removing light impurities by air blast through the seed mass
◦ usually done by a fan or a blower
Aspirating
◦ process of introducing air blast through suction to remove light foreign
materials from the seed mass
◦ usually done by an aspirator or a suction fan
