Performance Evaluation of mini tractor drawn multi tillage implement tool has been suitable for seed bed preparation at wapsa conditions under sandy loam soil of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone in a single operation. The implement consisting of iron ploughs for tillage and clod crusher for breaking clods which is useful for preparation of seed bed in a single pass with a saving of about 20% in the cost of the operation as compared to the cultivator. The fuel consumption was found 9.6 lit/ha in multipurpose tillage implement with clod crusher one pass and 13.4 lit/hr in M.B. Plough one pass Cultivator one pass. The seedbed preparation by Multipurpose Tillage Implement is cost efficient due to less initial capital investment cost as well as less operating cost. According to the cost analysis, the total cost of operation (Rs/hr) for Multipurpose Tillage Implement is lowest followed by Cultivator and M. B. plough. Therefore, it is recommended for farmers of the region to prepare the seedbed by using the developed implements.
