| Summary: | This paper describes a soil bin study on the effect of blade widths upon rotary tiller performance
which forms part of the research undertaken by the author on rotary tillage. Blades used were
designed and tested at several forward and rotor speed combinations using a single rotor flange.
Results obtained for each combination of forward and rotor speed show significant increase in power
consumption as cutting width increased. In terms of specific power, however, the wider the cutting
widths the lower the specific power values. The highest degree of soil pulverization was caused by the
smallest width at the smallest bite length. |
