MPT was developed to prepare seed bed in dry and wet soil condition and to perform various other agricultural operations. The average field capacity of above attachments i.e. cultivator (with Shovel) and seed drill for dry field was found to be 0.1385 and 0.1558 ha/h. It gave higher field capacity (1 ha/day) with additional saving in the cost of operation. The operational cost of MPT cultivator (with Shovel) and seed drill were found minimum 551.54 and 695.18 Rs. /ha, respectively in comparison to Tendua plough. The use of MPT was much economical than the traditional method the fabrication cost of MPT with attachments (Cultivator with shovel and seed -drill) was about Rs.7800.00.

MPT was developed to prepare seed bed in dry and wet soil condition and to perform various other agricultural operations. The average field capacity of above attachments i.e. cultivator (with Shovel) and seed drill for dry field was found to be 0.1385 and 0.1558 ha/h. It gave higher field capacity (1 ha/day) with additional saving in the cost of operation. The operational cost of MPT cultivator (with Shovel) and seed drill were found minimum 551.54 and 695.18 Rs. /ha, respectively in comparison to Tendua plough. The use of MPT was much economical than the traditional method the fabrication cost of MPT with attachments (Cultivator with shovel and seed -drill) was about Rs.7800.00.
