INTRODUCTION
Multipurpose agriculture machine is
Agriculture has been the backbone of a revolution in agricultural industry. This

their yield, investment is less compared to
all other heavy machinery and it will save
time compared to traditional method of
farming. Does not require much skilled
labour to work on it. The vehicles are being
developed for the processes for ploughing,
seed sowing, levelling, water spraying. All
of these functions have not yet performed
using a single vehicle . The proposed idea
implements the vehicle to perform the
functions such as ploughing, seed sowing,
mud levelling, water spraying.
LITRATURE SURVEY
1. D.A. Mada, Sunday Mahai, [2013], The
research paper author has mentioned
importance of mechanization in
agricultural by giving examples. The
conclusion from the paper was need of
multifunctional single axel vehicle for pre
and post harvesting . We have taken this
as base for our research and further
production of our multifunctional
agricultural vehicle.
2. F.A. Adamu, B. G. Jahun and B.
Babangida [2014] The paper authors
draws our attention towards the
performance factor of a power tiller
.Among those demand for light weight
power tiller was sought out most .Fuel
efficiency and field capacity such
parameters are also discussed. We taken
those points in consideration while
designing a sustainable multifunctional
agricultural vehicle.
3. P. Šařec, O. Šařec [2015] The lowest
values of soil penetration resistance
below the cultivated profile were
determined with the cultivators equipped
with chisel shaped shares i.e. in the case
of Farmet and Köckerling. Cultivators
Väderstad TopDown 400 and Farmet
Turbulent 450 showed good capacity in
embedding plant residues. This results
have taken for our research basis.

case study on farm mechanization in
west Bengal as being part of India it
give clear status about availability and
progress in India. This ensured us to
take right steps compared to current
steps.
5. R. Sadiq , S. Gopalakrishna , (2015)
The paper authors draws our attention
towards the performance factor of a
power tiller .Among those demand for
light weight power tiller was sought out
most the accuracy and complexity of the
model depends on the number of
sections. In this paper, a comparative
study is made between models with
different number of sections to obtain
optimal model.
6. Kannan , K. Esakkiraja , (2014) Early
planting was done by hand. The seeds
would be thrown, or broadcast. This
system made it more difficult to weed
and harvest the crop. Later a dibber was
used for some crops. A dibber was a
board with holes evenly spread apart. A
stick would be pushed through the holes
and then a seed would be placed in the
hole made by the stick. This was very
effective but also very tedious and time
consuming

 the above picture show the front
view of the vehical. In this we have
used many tools.
 The tools which are used in this are
line, circle, offset, trimmer, extrude
etc.

MODELING

 Modeling of this machine was

done in CATIA software. The
modeling is the most important
thing which should be done
first, we did the modeling first.
 The modeling was first done
in AUTO CAD for its 2D
diagram as the above pictures
are modeled in that. The above
pictures are the side view and
the top view of our project
which shows the chain drive ,
plough, water pump tyres and
the water storage tank , there
are a total of four shaft.

versatile agriculture machine
which is made by using CATIA
software, in this we have used
many tools for making the

3.1 PLOUGHING
Large farming implement with one
or more blades fixed in a frame, drawn over
soil to turn it over and cut furrows in
preparation for the planting of seeds
.Traditional agricultural implements, such as
the foot plow, are still widly used in many
parts of india . Even the ploughing techniqes
have changed still in many parts of india
farmers use traditional methods, due to lack
of financial assist.
 save the water, if we flow the water by using
a regulate then the wastage of water is high.

3.2 SEED SOWING

Sowing or seeding is an art of placing
seeds in the soil to have good germination in
the field. A perfect seeding gives correct
amount of seed per unit area, correct depth
at which seed is placed in the soil and
correct spacing between row-to-row and 3.4 CHAIN DRIVE

a vehicle or a boat's propeller by means of a
moving endless chain .In this project we use
the chain drive twice .The first one is to
rotate the seed sowing and the second one is
connected to pump , the water is pumped by
using this pump. The chain drive is
connected to shaft.

3.3 WATER PUMP

It consists of centrifugal compressor
which works on engine power. The water
which comes from tank is mixed with
compressed air and goes to nozzle. There

equipment is in state of rest. It will situate at agriculture. In ancient times this was
the top of setup. Using the pump we can done by a plough later they use bulls
and now they are using tractors for
 ploughing as it has become more
common it has a good efficiency and
work can be done at very less time.

 Seed sowing is the second most

important part of agriculture the most
reliable a oldest method is sowing by
hands as the machinery works for
sowing it has become more easy to sow
seed using machinery.

 Watering the plants has changed with

time different ways are used for
watering plants as now the latest DIMENSIONS
technique is water sprinkling , drip
irrigation etc.  BASE:

FABIRICATION Width -3 feet

The base was fabricated by hollow square  WATER TANK STORAGE:

Bar, which was first welded by using arc Water tank capacity is 20 liters
weldingThe base makes a rectangular shape
 TYRES:
,. After that we made the vertical bars which 4no of tyers are used
was used as the support to the water storage
and the seed sowing . Diameter 20 inches

The plough has been fixed to the base  SHAFT:

which can be used if we need it or we can
hook it up if we don’t want to use the water
storage is tank is binded to the bars which
will keep it stable without moving. We used
the chain drive as we wanted to make the
project completely a mechanical project we
dint want to use any electrical energy.
Length of shaft-6 feet
Diameter of shaft is-3inch

This is the side view of the multipurpose
agriculture machine,in this we can se all the
componets which are used in it the plough ,
seed sowing , water pump, chain drive and
water storage tank.
 FEATURES OF OUR
EQUIPMENT
 Multipurpose, can perform
cultivations operations such as
ploughing, cloud breaking, sowing,
fertilizing, leveling, weeding,
weedicide application.
 Multitasking, in one assembly of the
equipment it performs sowing,
fertilizing and leveling. In another
assembly it performs weeding and
weedicide application.
 Automated, the equipment can be
animal powered or tractor powered
just pulling of the equipment is
enough and rest of the actions are
automated.
 The Successful implement of
scientific farming with our
equipment will lead to higher yield
and better quality of crop.
 Sequential spacing of seeds will
reduce the wastage of seeds and
helps in the best utilization of the
field and reduces the thinning and
filling effort.
 Number of workers required is
reduced excessively, which in turn
reduces labor charges.
 Property of Rights,16.
