Sugarcane planting is a very labour intensive job and involves considerable human drudgery. Planting creates the foundation for a crop and plays a crucial role in its growth and yield. Study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of two different models of sugarcane planters. One model was Khalsa PE-630 type cuter planter manufactured M/S Punjab engineers, Meerut and the other was ITI make cutter planter designed by Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, and manufactured by Indian Telephone Industries, Rai Bareli. In addition to this two different experimental test set ups based on different principals were developed for measuring cutting forces for sugarcane cutting. It was observed that field capacity of Khallsa make planter was 0.20 ha/hr with the field efficiency of 87.50% at effective working width of 1.34 m and a forward speed of 2.54 km/hr at 2nd low gear. A set length of 32.96 cm with average.

Abstract


Sugarcane planting is a very labour intensive job and involves considerable human drudgery. Planting creates the foundation for a crop and plays a crucial role in its growth and yield. Study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of two different models of sugarcane planters. One model was Khalsa PE-630 type cuter planter manufactured M/S Punjab engineers, Meerut and the other was ITI make cutter planter designed by Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, and manufactured by Indian Telephone Industries, Rai Bareli. In addition to this two different experimental test set ups based on different principals were developed for measuring cutting forces for sugarcane cutting. It was observed that field capacity of Khallsa make planter was 0.20 ha/hr with the field efficiency of 87.50% at effective working width of 1.34 m and a forward speed of 2.54 km/hr at 2nd low gear. A set length of 32.96 cm with average.
