Abstract
Agriculture has been an integral part of the human ecosystem. However, traditional farming methods require a lot of human effort and are very time-consuming. Farm tilling is one of the most labor intensive operations in agriculture. Manual tiling of fields is very strenuous task while tractors incur high capital along with heavy fuel consumption costs. This low-cost portable motor-operated tiller machine is a one-stop modern solution to enhance the conventional agriculture methods of farming, as it reduces the human effort, at a very negligible price using motorized tilling mechanism. The electric power tiller helps reduce the time and cost involved in tilling using a smart portable design thereby increasing the productivity and efficiency in agriculture.
