Two in One Cultivator and Blade Harrow
Details: The innovation is a tractor-mounted three-bottom cultivator cum blade harrow. Both cultivator tynes and blade harrow can be used alternately using a reversible mechanism. While one is used on the farm, the other is carried upside on the implement. At the end of each operation, the paired blade harrow/cultivator tynes are turned over so that the other can be used. The field capacity for ploughing and harrowing is 1.6 acres per hour and 2 acres per hour, respectively.
