Farm Machinery

Subtopic: Soil tillage

Question Statement:

In a standard tractor-mounted standard disc plough, the disc angle (angle of the disc plane to the direction of travel) and tilt angle (angle of the disc plane to the vertical) typically lie in the ranges of:

Options:

  • (A) Disc angle $42^\circ - 45^\circ$, Tilt angle $15^\circ - 25^\circ$
  • (B) Disc angle $15^\circ - 25^\circ$, Tilt angle $42^\circ - 45^\circ$
  • (C) Disc angle $70^\circ - 85^\circ$, Tilt angle $5^\circ - 10^\circ$
  • (D) Disc angle $5^\circ - 10^\circ$, Tilt angle $70^\circ - 85^\circ$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

In agricultural disc ploughs: • **Disc angle** is $42^\circ$ to $45^\circ$, controlling furrow width and slice inversion. • **Tilt angle** is $15^\circ$ to $25^\circ$, controlling soil penetration.
