The disc plough further can be classified into different models such as mechanical disc plough, reversible disc plough, folding (adjustable discs distance) disc plough, 2/3/4/5 bottom disc plough.
DISC PLOUGH SETUP (INSTALLATION):
This disc plough is firstly installed with the given 26inch discs, which are mounted on hubs (bearing housing). These hubs are fitted with the main frame of disc plough. Now this installed disc plough is attached with the tractor with three-point linkages using pins. Now the disc plough is ready to be used in the farm.
NEW VIKAS DISC PLOUGH OPERATIONS:
The New Vikas Disc Plough is raised above ground level using lift of the tractor. When it is about to begin the farm operation, then lift is lowered to the surface and tractor starts moving in the forward direction. Now the disc start rotating and in cuts and turn the soil from 10 to 12-inch depth. Thus, it makes the soil turn, cuts the roots into small pieces and also helps the soil in aeration. Now the land is prepared for the seeding. Before seeding one more operation can be added, that could be the rotavator. If the operation of the disc plough left behind the big size sandy objects, which are sticky in nature then it may be difficult to seed with seed drill. Therefor the use of rotavator can make the sand levelled properly.
POPULAR DISC PLOUGH MODELS:
The two bottom reversible disc ploughs are most widely accepted model. The efficiency of reversible or automatic disc plough is more than plain disc plough owing to its ability to change the discs direction automatically while turning at one end of the row. Thus, it also saves the time and diesel consumption of the tractor.
The two bottom plain disc plough is used at the places where the landform is not uniform and the roots are more in the field. Apart from it if the land is not cultivated for the years or only one crop is taken in the year then also this disc plough can become the best option for the land preparation. This disc plough is the prime disc plough with rigid structure and less complications.
ADVANCED DISC PLOUGH TECHNOLOGY:
It has one tubular main frame of six inches in diameter. The discs are mounted on the lower frame. The rear portion of the disc plough is fitted with the colter assembly to assist and balance the disc plough while operating on the field. This colter assembly consists of complex yet rigid parts using thick metal plates fitted with colter. The three-bottom plain disc plough has a long tubular structure with three-disc housings. The main frame is bent from the middle portion. The main frame is made in such a way that provides the option of two plus one discs, as the two parts are joined using a heavy joint made of cast iron with a unique design. Thus, strengthening the main structure to perform well in the field. The three-bottom reversible disc plough is designed in a way that makes it the best choice for tractors with hp more than forty. This can plough the land in a shorter time than other disc plough models. The New Vikas model of this type is a very compact implement that is manufactured with the motto of providing good mileage for the tractor while using it on the field. The colter is well pressed while operating using a high carbon spring used on the main frame. The discs used can adjust their distances using the bolts given on the frame. The distances between the discs are adjusted depending on the soil types whether wet or dry.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, the New Vikas Disc Plough stands as a versatile and efficient solution for land preparation in agriculture. With a range of models catering to different soil types and agricultural needs, this implement proves its adaptability in various scenarios. The meticulous installation process ensures a seamless integration with tractors, readying the disc plough for effective farm operations.
During operations, the precision and depth achieved by the disc plough play a crucial role in turning and aerating the soil, preparing it thoroughly for seeding. The inclusion of advanced technologies, such as the colter assembly and tubular main frame, enhances the overall performance and durability of the disc plough.
Notably, popular models like the two-bottom reversible disc plough showcase increased efficiency, saving valuable time and reducing tractor diesel consumption. On the other hand, the two-bottom plain disc plough proves invaluable in challenging terrains with uneven landforms or excessive root presence.
