| In order to solve problems of high power consumption and high operation cost of traditional ripping of sugarcane fields, a 1SG-230 typed sugarcane ripper cum rotary tiller was designed for large wheel-typed tractor on the basis of studying on traditional land preparation combined operation implement. The implement was capable of accomplishing ripping and rotary tillage in one pass by adding a ripping unit at the front of a usual rotary tiller. Field experiments showed that compared with a usual furrow plough, its tillage depth was 5 cm deeper and operation efficiency increased by 40%, while the increase in fuel consumption per unit area was relatively slight and rotary operation quality was guaranteed at the same time. The implement could save energy and reduce operation cost. |
