A Rotavator (or tiller) is a vital agricultural implement used for soil preparation. It breaks up, tills, and aerates the soil, making it suitable for planting. Below is a brief description of its key components:
Function: Transfers power from the tractors Power Take-Off (PTO) to the rotavator.
Features: Typically includes a universal joint (U-joint) for flexibility and a safety clutch for overload protection.
Function: Connects the PTO shaft to the gearbox of the rotavator, transmitting rotational power.
Features: Often includes a U-joint for flexibility and to compensate for angular misalignment between the tractor and the implement.
The central component of the U-joint shaft, which is a cross-shaped piece that allows the two shafts to transfer rotational power at different angles.
It connects to two yokes and accommodates angular misalignment, ensuring continuous power transfer even when the shafts are not in perfect alignment.
A rotavator consists of several key components: the PTO shaft for power transmission, gearbox for speed reduction, blades/rotors for soil tilling, a yoke for connecting the PTO to the gearbox, a frame for structural support, a hitch for tractor attachment, depth control skids/wheels for regulating depth, side guards for safety, and sometimes a drive chain for power transfer. These components work together to efficiently prepare the soil for farming.
