ABSTRACT
Land leveling is a precursor to good agronomic, soil and crop management practices. Resource conserving technologies perform better on well leveled and laid out fields. Effective land leveling is meant to optimize water use efficiency, improve crop establishment, reduce weed problem, improve uniformity of crop maturity, reduce the irrigation interval and effort required to manage crop with significant effect on yield. Traditionally farmers level their fields using animal drawn or tractor-drawn levelers. The electrical signal is then directed by a control box to activate an electric hydraulic valve. The control box accepts and processes signals from receiver mounted over the machine. It displays signals to indicate the drag bucket’s position relative to the finished grade. Bucket speed needs to be adjusted with ground speed. The rate at which the bucket will raise and lower is dependent on the amount of oil supplied to the delivery line.
