“Our pledge should be to enhance the food production”
- Taittireeyopanishad
And it is an undisputable fact that to enhance the production and
productivity, agricultural mechanization assumes a major role. As a result of
different programmes implemented by Government of India over the years, the
total farm power availability is estimated to have increased from 0.295 kW/ha
in 1971-72 to 1.73 kW/ha in 2010-11. This Institute established in the year
1983, has been contributing significantly by conducting various training
programs for various target groups and, conducting test on Power Tillers and
other Agricultural Machinery for assessing their performance, with a view to
decide their suitability for popularization.
It is worth mentioning that out of a total of 58 Power Tillers tested at this
Institute since inception, 25 Power Tillers were tested only during this year.
Besides, by testing 51 Machines during this year, the Institute has touched a
new record. Conduction of training programmes for 1683 trainees is also
something we are proud of. It is my unshakable belief that “Excellence is not
just an act but an habit”.
I am proud to note that this Institute has got ISO 9001:2008 compliance
certificate during this year.
I take this opportunity to express my heart-felt gratitude to all the
officers of Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture,
Government of India, for their guidance, support and inspiration. The
dedication of the staff of the Institute including contractual workers is also
thankfully acknowledged.

4.1 OBJECTIVES of TESTING: 1.
To conduct Testing on Power Tillers and other Agricultural Machinery
with a view to assess their Functional Suitability and Performance
characteristics under different Agro Climatic Conditions so that the
published test results would: Serve as a basis to decide the suitable Machinery for different Agro
Climatic Conditions of the Country, which may further we
encouraged for Production and Popularization.
Help the farmers and other prospective purchasers in determining
the Comparative Performance of Machinery available in the market.
Provide material to Researchers/Designers for undertaking
development work on Agricultural Machinery, Engineers and
Extension Workers for guiding farmers and other users in proper
selection of equipment.
Help financial Institutions in recommending financial assistance to
the Manufacturers as well as to the farmers.
2.
To maintain a check over the quality of Power Tillers through “Batch
Testing” programme. It also aims at assisting the manufacturers in
the product improvement and facilitates them updating the
specifications of their machines.
3.
To assist Bureau of Indian Standards in the formulation of various
standards on Agricultural Implements and Machines.
4.2 THE NEED FOR POWER TILLER TESTING
Though the Institute had ushered in testing activities in 1990, but
scope of testing was limited to the testing of Farm Implements and
Machinery. It was in the year 2006-07 that the Institute expanded its profile
and started testing of Power Tillers also. The necessity of testing of Power
Tillers in the present scenario assumes even greater in the light of following
facts:
Most of the Power Tiller manufacturers/traders are only assembling
the completely knocked down units (from China, Thailand etc.) for
marketing in India.
--ICT of Power Tiller is considered compulsory to assess the field
worthiness of Power Tiller in Indian conditions (as envisaged in Ministry's
My(I&P) Part-III dated
Memorandum No.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14
SRFMTTI, ANANTAPUR
Page 15 of 45
----- It would be in the interest of Buyers- especially now a days when most
of the Power Tillers are just assembled from CKD units- to seek loan for
proven machines only. Even otherwise, it is in the interest of buyers to
procure only dependable Machines. To serve to this purpose of buyers,
Power Tiller Testing should be mandatory.
It would be in the interest of financing Institutions also to grant the
loan for tested machines only. This also necessitates the mandatory testing
of Power Tillers.
As a matter of fact, the Industry, NABARD, ICAR, CFMTTI BUDNI &
Other Institutes have gone unanimously to recommend to formulate
Minimum Performance Standards (MPS for short) for Power Tillers, which
now serve as a criteria for their financing, vide Ministry's Memorandum No.
My(I&P)-Part-III dated
The underlying concept is that
Power Tiller test should be compulsory to assess their compliance to MPS.
The IS
provides some requirements as "Evaluative
-Requirements". These are the ones which are mandatory for acceptance
of power Tiller for purpose of subsidy/ NABARD financing. In view of this
there is every reason to make Power Tiller testing mandatory.
of IS
lays down the acceptance criteria in case of
Clause
Break down/ Defects, according to which, a Power Tiller may be accepted
subject to the following conditions.
a) There is no 'Critical Breakdown' during its validation after all tests
including Repeat/ Supplementary tests;
b) There are not more than two 'Major Breakdowns' and neither of them is of
repetitive nature; and
c) There are not more than five 'Minor Defects' during the test and the
frequency of each is not more than two.
In no case, the total number of Breakdowns should exceed five, that is
( Major + Minor) or Minor Breakdowns.
Thus, in order to assess the Robustness/ Reliability of the machine,
mandatory testing of Power Tiller is considered necessary.
Apart from the above, testing of Power Tillers should be made
mandatory because:
a)
It helps the farmers in determining the Comparative Performance of
machines available in the market.
b)
It provides inputs to Research/ Design peoples for undertaking
Development Work on Machines.

4.3 NATURE OF TEST
1. Commercial Test – The tests conducted for establishing Performance
Characteristics of Power Tillers that are ready for commercial
production or already in production.
1.1
Initial Commercial Test – The tests conducted on Indigenous or
Imported Prototype of Power Tillers ready for commercial
production.
1.2
Batch Test – The tests conducted on Power Tillers which have
already undergone Initial Commercial Test and are being
manufactured/ sold commercially in the country.
1.3
Repeat Test – The tests conducted on Power Tiller, to validate the
performance or to ascertain the reoccurrence of breakdown/
defects observed in earlier tests, for the same parameter and on the
same sample under test after rectifying the defects or after
replacing the defected part by new part of the same specifications,
or on fresh sample of same specification.

Supplementary Test – Supplementary test is conducted on Power
Tiller in case of not meeting the Performance Requirement after the
Repeat Test. The test is conducted to validate the performance or to
ascertain the reoccurrence of the breakdown/ defects observed in
earlier tests for the same parameter and on the same sample under
test after rectifying the defects or after replacing the defective part

by new part of same specifications/ revised specifications with
improved design, or no fresh sample of same specifications/revised
specifications with improved design.
1.5
Variant Testing – Conducted on variant models of Power Tillers,
the base model of which has already undergone for the commercial
testing.
The
variant
feature
may
be
addition/deletion/supplementation of the features as defined
under conditions so as to have evaluation of their performance.
2. Confidential Test – The test conducted for providing confidential
information on the performance of Power Tiller whether ready for
commercial production or not, or to provide any special data that may
be required by the Manufacturer/ Applicant. In case, where the
manufacturers get the machine tested partly, i.e. test of few
parameters, rather than going for full test, the test fee will be charged
at the following rates:
