General Information

:

The basin lister  consists of three trenchers of width 30 cm, cams, cam shaft, cam follower, ground wheels and frame.   Each trencher fitted with a cam follower gets lifted up by the cams at equal intervals. The cams are mounted on a common axle at 120 degree difference and supported by ground wheels.  The power to rotate the cam is transmitted from one of the ground wheels.   The basin lister unit is  attached to the standard nine tyned cultivator. The seed box along with cup feed type seed metering mechanism is mounted on the cultivator frame and the seeds are dropped in between the basins.  Seeds are sown in 4 rows at 45 cm apart.  The same implement can be used to form broad beds separated by furrows by removing the basin lister attachment from the cultivator.
