For many Indian farmers, land preparation remains one of the most time-consuming and costly stages of farming. Multiple tractor passes, high diesel consumption, uneven soil preparation, and poor weed control often result in delayed sowing and reduced yields.

This case study highlights how a group of progressive farmers improved soil quality, reduced operational costs, and achieved better crop establishment by adopting Popular Fieldking Tillage Implements—including the rotavator, plough, harrow, and cultivator—based on crop stage and soil condition.

The objective was simple:👉 Prepare healthier soil using fewer resources and get better output per acre.

Farmer Profile & Farming Conditions

Location: Central & North India (Mixed Soil Zones)

Farm Size: 15–40 acres

Crops Grown: Wheat, Soybean, Cotton, Paddy

Soil Type: Medium to hard soil with crop residue issues

Main Challenges:

High fuel cost due to multiple tillage passes
Poor seed germination
Weed infestation
Uneven soil leveling

Problem Statement

Before using Fieldking tillage implements, farmers relied on

traditional and unoptimized tools,

which led to:

3–4 tractor passes for land preparation
Higher diesel and labor costs
Inconsistent soil depth
Delayed sowing window

The need was for durable, efficient, and crop-specific tillage solutions.

Solution: Adoption of Popular Fieldking Tillage Implements

After consulting local dealers and fellow farmers, the group adopted a combination-based tillage approach using Fieldking equipment.

Implementation Strategy (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Deep Primary Tillage with Fieldking Plough

The first operation involved using a Fieldking plough to:

Break hard soil layers
Turn crop residues deep into the soil
Improve water absorption

Result:✔ Soil loosened effectively✔ Reduced weed regrowth✔ Better moisture penetration

Step 2: Secondary Tillage Using Fieldking Harrow

After ploughing, farmers used a Fieldking harrow to:

Break large soil clods
Level the field surface
Prepare uniform ground for sowing

Result:✔ Even soil surface✔ Better seed placement✔ Improved field appearance

Step 3: Fine Seedbed Preparation with Fieldking Rotavator

The most impactful change came with the use of the Fieldking rotavator.

Why Rotavator Was Chosen:

Single-pass operation
Efficient mixing of crop residue
Saves fuel and time

Result:✔ Reduced tractor passes from 3 to 1✔ Fine and uniform seedbed✔ Faster sowing readiness

Step 4: In-Season Weed Control with Fieldking Cultivator

During crop growth, farmers used a Fieldking cultivator for:

Inter-row weed control
Soil aeration
Moisture retention

Result:✔ Reduced manual labor✔ Healthier root development✔ Better crop growth consistency

Results & Performance Metrics

Before vs After Using Fieldking Implements

Parameter	Before	After
Tractor Passes	3–4	1–2
Fuel Consumption	High	Reduced by ~30%
Soil Uniformity	Uneven	Highly uniform
Weed Control	Manual + Costly	Mechanical & Efficient
Crop Establishment	Inconsistent	Improved & faster

Impact on Crop Yield & Profitability

Wheat & Paddy: Improved germination rate
Soybean & Cotton: Better root spread
Overall Yield Increase: 10–15% (varies by crop)
Operational Cost Reduction: Significant savings on diesel & labor

Farmers reported that Fieldking tillage implements paid for themselves within 1–2 seasons.

Why Fieldking Made the Difference

Farmers highlighted the following reasons for choosing Fieldking:

Heavy-duty build quality
Compatibility with Indian tractors
Reliable dealer support
Long service life
Cost-effective pricing

Fieldking’s design focuses on real Indian farming conditions, not just machinery specs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which Fieldking implement gave the highest ROI?

The rotavator delivered the fastest ROI due to reduced fuel and labor costs.

Is plough still necessary if using a rotavator?

Yes, for hard soil and first tillage, ploughing remains essential.

Can small farmers use Fieldking implements?

Yes, Fieldking offers models suitable for different tractor HP ranges.

How often should a cultivator be used?

During early crop stages for weed control and soil aeration.
