Comparison Between Local Manufactured Panel Ridge and Conventional Disc Ridge Throughout Investigating Their Effects on Power-Use-Efficiency, Draft Force and Actual Field Productivity

Field experiment was conducted to investigate the comparison between two types of ridge (panel and disc) using spaces operational parts (90 110 cm) at speeds (4 2.6 km/hr). First stage from this study identify important dimensions local manufactured (ridge panel) with selecting appropriate material throughout series material, mechanical chemical analyses. Second evaluate performance particular by measuring effects implement on draft force, slippage percentage power-use-efficiency as well field represented productivity, efficiency, size disturbed soil. Randomized Complete Block Design (split-split plot) used in find out studied factors indications that mentioned above. The results have shown panel (LMPR) significantly higher than Conventional Disc Ridge (CDR) (P<0.05) terms power efficiency. speed km/hr) also significant recording values for practical productivity volume soil compared km/hr. wider distance (110 smaller 90 cm (P<0.05), however, recorded efficiency performance. interaction where km/hr percentage, 4 resulted when interacted distance. It is found all interactions speeds, ridge, type ridges were effect indications. Where these distances better disc through (PUE), performance-efficiency three investigated indications.
