Peanut seed drill with sloping disk

Abstract

The project was developed starting off of a machine constructed in Padilla like prototype, and with the objective in that then ones to perform the corresponding tests in field. Once Metal Mecánica in Monteagudo, where at the moment it has been working for two years, the test of the machine was realized. The modifications that employed like east result, were in the majority of the cases done in the work shop, was used like method the experimentation, until being able to fit to the requirements of the peanut producers. The machine has demonstrated to be functional and practical, adaptable to lands of Monteagudo and around, as much so their use either on the part of producers and projects even dedicated to support the producers are using or it. In the accomplishment of the tests all the traditional methods of the context for sowing of the peanut and treatment were used to determine the particular characteristics of each, thus also with the machine as drive of oxen and horse were used, thus also promoted the producers to handle the machine. In conclusion the result is encouraging, the experimentation with machines in this field the agricultural automation in our country is not known nor developed, giving rise to the investigation and innovation.
