The tractor mounted drum seeder is an efficient agricultural implement designed for uniform sowing of pregerminated seeds, especially in wetland paddy fields. The main objective of this project is to design and fabricate a cost-effective, time-saving, and labor-reducing seeding machine that can be easily attached to a tractor. The system consists of seed drums with perforations, a supporting frame, ground wheels, power transmission mechanism, and hitching arrangement. When the tractor moves, the ground wheel rotates the drum, allowing seeds to fall uniformly through the holes into the soil. The design focuses on proper seed spacing, depth control, structural strength, and ease of operation. Mild steel is commonly used for fabrication due to its strength and availability. The developed machine increases field capacity, reduces seed wastage, minimizes labor requirement, and ensures uniform crop growth. Hence, the tractor mounted drum seeder improves productivity and supports modern mechanized farming practices.
