Review on Design and Fabrication of Multipurpose Agricultural Vehicle

Farming plays a vital role in the Indian economy. In agriculture, many fieldwork tasks like ploughing, reaping, sowing, etc. were traditionally done using manual equipment. However, this approach had its challenges, including minimizing losses, increasing productivity, and reducing costs. In India, there are two types of agricultural methods used: manual and mechanized. The manual method is tedious, laborious, and time-consuming. On the other hand, mechanization involves using hybrid devices to transfer motion and provide mechanical advantages, making farming quicker and easier. There is a wide range of machines available for almost every task in agriculture, from land preparation to crop harvesting. While these machines are efficient, they are costly and cannot be afforded by most rural farmers with small land. As a result, most farmers still rely on traditional methods. Additionally, since most farmers have low incomes, investing in large machines is not feasible. Therefore, there is a need to develop low-cost equipment that can be used for multiple purposes.
