General Information

:

The self propelled weeder consists of a box section chassis, 3-hp petrol -start- kerosene run engine, transmission system, drive wheels, tool mounting bar of 70 x 70 mm size. The engine, gearbox and tool mounting bar are fixed to main chassis. The engine is mounted on front side of the chassis on proper foundation. The gearbox with transmission system is mounted in the middle of chassis. Two steel lugged drive wheels of 500 mm diameter and 110 mm width are mounted on both ends of hexagonal shaft connected to transmission box. The wheel tread (spacing between two wheels) can be adjusted from 400 to 650 mm to suit the row to- row spacing of different crops. The spacing between sweeps is easily adjusted by sliding the tynes on tool mounting bar to suit the crop row spacing. A lever operated clutch! idler pulley is used for tightening! loosening of V -belt, transmitting the power from engine to transmission box. For operation, the tynes are adjusted to the raised position so they do not dig into the ground and the weeder is transported to the field. The tynes are adjusted according to the row spacing of the crop and depth of operation.
