Turmeric Harvester

• Turmeric harvester is a power tiller operated unit. It consists of a blade with three bar points for easy penetration into the soil.
  
• To the rear end of the blade six slats spaced at 50 mm apart are hinged at both ends.
  
• The oscillating motion for the slats is obtained through eccentric provided on either side of the unit.
  
• The power is transmitted from the clutch pulley of the power tiller to a reduction gearbox mounted near the hitch bracket assembly of the power tiller.
  
• From the gear box, the power is transmitted to the shaft of the turmeric digger unit through V belt transmission.
