Sowing is the most important process in farming. The existing products or machines are designed only for seed-sowing purposes without the digging process. Both sowing and digging processes are done separately, thus becoming time-consuming and require human effort. The objective of this project is to build a machine that can assist in agriculture processes, reduce manpower, and time saving. The amount of seeds that can be carried by the machine is studied using engineering analysis. Then, the revolution of wheels needs to be synced with the wheeled container so the seed can be poured at one time. Other than that, the machine parts are welded together. The target customer for this project is those involved in agriculture like farmers because most of them are elderly. Besides, it can save a lot of time and can reduce manpower. Most materials used in this project are steel, so the machine is more durable and long-lasting. Plastic is used for containers because it is a strong and lightweight material
