Abstract : In farming operations, tillage is the primary and energy consuming operation. The purpose of the tilling the soil is to provide favorable soil conditions by cutting and inverting the soil for seeding or transplanting. Advanced tillage equipments are available in the market. However, poor farmers and the one with small farm size cannot afford them, as they are costly to buy and maintain. This paper briefly reviews the different types of plows used for preparing the land. Three types of simple reversible plow attachments have been designed. The materials and manufacturing processes to prepare these plow attachments is also discussed. The tractive and the thrust forces for these plow attachments are then estimated analytically.
