Abstract
Disk implements like disk plow and disk harrow are used as primary and secondary tillage implements, respectively. In this chapter, disk geometry and analysis of various forces acting while operating the disks in the field have been discussed along with the classification of disk plows and harrows. The procedure for designing the disk harrow has been discussed thoroughly. At the end, design and numerical problems are provided.
