Experiment was carried out under controlled condition in soil bin containing silty clay loam
soil to study the effect of forward speed, disc angle, depth of cut and soil moisture content on
the power requirement as well as soil failure pattern. The powered disc was tested with three
disc angle (25, 30 and 35), three forward speed (2, 3 and 4 km/h), three range of soil
moisture content (8-10, 13-15 and 18-20%) and three levels of depth of operation (100, 125
and 150 mm). The rotational speed of the disc kept constant at 94 rpm. The data regarding …

Experiment was carried out under controlled condition in the soil bin containing silty clay
loam soil to study the effect of forward speed, disc angle, depth of cut and soil moisture
content on the power requirement of a powered vertical disc and area (furrow x-section) of
soil disturbed. The experiment was conducted with 3 levels of forward speed (2, 3 and 4
km/h), 3 levels of disc angle (25, 30 and 35°), 3 levels of depth of cut (100, 125 and 150 mm)
and 3 levels of soil moisture content (8-10, 13-15 and 18-20%). The rotational speed of the …
