INDIA
Bullock Driven Tractor
Spring 2020-Present
The hard-working and dedicated students of this group have spent the last 3 years redesigning the bullock-driven tractor in India! Here is some info and facts about the project.
*Seen to the left is the current model used in India.
Problem Statement
The goal for our team is to redesign a current model of the tractor to become further ergonomic and cost-effective. The tractor should efficiently lift farming attachments for wheat farmers in rural India.
Requirements & Key Stakeholders
Requirement 1: Must be cost effective (<$350 dollars)
Requirement 2: Must be able to lift the weight of the plow out of the ground with relative ease
Requirement 3: Must have a high ease of use, be able to operate without difficult barriers of education or age.
Requirement 4: Plow will have the ability to adjust plowing heights to accommodate for different crops.
Key Stakeholders:
Farmers - people receiving technology
Purdue and RuTAG - universities helping with the project
Project Timeline
This is the past and present timeline for the tractor. With this timeline, we have also gone through many iterations of the engineering design processes used in EPICS (listed below).
