Diseño de una plantadora mecánica de patatas

Abstract

There is a great variety of potato planters, from semiautomatic, that need the presence of a workman, even completely automatic provided with fhe most modern electronic technology. The employment of a machine or another depends principally on the extension of the surface to cultivate (profitability of the machine). The improvement in fhe efficiency of these machines is beneficial both to the agrarian and the environment. In this work, a planter is designed to be driren and controlled only mechanically which allows regulating all the parameters in the potato planting process, being soitable for a variety of crops. The result is a versatile design that brings together the simpliciiy, reliability and easy maintenance of a purely mechanical machine with the precision, speed and control of the process of the most sophisticafed machines controlled of electronic form.
