Tillage Equipment
                     Tillage Equipment
Tillage is the initial process in agricultural practices to prepare 
the soil for planting. Preparing or tilling the soil by breaking it 
up to make seedbed or rows is called tillage and is performed 
using various tillage equipment. Few of these are mentions 
here-
Ploughs
Ploughs are the most basic tillage equipment used to break, 
turn and mix the soil and works efficiently even in rocky and 
rooted areas. Various models used worldwide as per their 
functions are – mould-board plough, reversible mould-board 
plough, disc plough etc.
Rotary Tillers or Rotavator
Popularly known as Rotavator, a rotary tiller is used in both 
primary and secondary tillage operations. Managing soil with 
rotavator ensures that the land is perfectly levelled with no 
clods to make it perfect for planting seeds.
Harrows
Harrow is used as primary tillage equipment in an open field 
for superficial ploughing, smashing the clods, aerate the soil 
and burying the organic remains and substances under the 
surface. Few Harrow models are high speed disc harrow,  
power harrow, poly disc harrow etc.
Sub Soilers
Sub soiler are used in the areas where deep tillage is required 
especially to break up hardpan layers in the soil and loosening 
the subsoil for improved drainage, ideal root growth and 
mineral osmosis.
Cultivator
A cultivator is used to loosen and aerate the soil to a depth of 
nine inches. The cultivator is used as secondary tillage 
machinery that easily till the soil on each side of the rows in the 
fields, removing unwanted weeds and grass.
Ripper
A Ripper is used to cut the weed roots under the surface, 
leaving the organic matter on the upper layer of the soil. It is 
suitable to use even in dry and harsh lands as the equipment 
have a robust structure to keep it safe from damages by 
underground stones & roots.
