dc.description.abstractThe tractor is a major source of power among all the sources of power for agriculture as it has diversified applications. The most commonly operations are field preparation, sowing and interculturing. In all those operations, depth is important factor which is most important parameter in precision agriculture. During farm operation for the operator, it‟s very difficult to maintain the recommended depth of operation without any indication and also have point to point variation in agriculture field. Therefore, a project was undertaken to develop a continuous depth measurement and its control system according to the pre-defined value of depth. A rotary potentiometer measured the depth by sensing the rotation of rockshaft of tractors hydraulic which was displayed digitally. A keypad was used to set the desired depth operation by operator. A stepper motor was connected with the position control lever to control the depth according to the signal getting from microcontroller. The microcontroller compares the input of pre-define depth with real time measured depth and sends the signal to stepper motor to lower/raise the depth as per need. The error in the real time depth measurement was 6.05% and 4.58% when evaluated without and with implement respectively in stationary condition. The automatic depth control system was also evaluated with the simulator as well as tractor and found the depth was well within the ±10% of the pre-defined depth.
