UNIT 1 SURVEY OF FARM POWER The fi rst kind of power used in agriculture was human power, and all opera tions from land preparation through cultivation, harvesting, and processing of the fi nal product were performed by hand. Many centuries passed before the power of animals was used. The transition from hand farming to modern power-farming was at fi rst slow, but with the development of the steel plough, the internal combustion engine, the farm tractor, and other modern farm machines, the movement has accelerated. Heavier and larger ploughs, harrows, planters, cultivators, and har vesting devices, threshers, grain reapers, mowers were designed before 1850. Designers of farm machinery have tried to design machinery adoptable to a wide variety of situations, and the success of their efforts has resulted in greater use of farm machinery. The quality of farm machinery has also been improved by its having greater resistance resulting in reduced replacement and adjustment of parts. A machine is a device that gives a mechanical advantage, facilitates the doing of work; thus the term “farm machinery” includes the mechanical equipment of fi eld and farmstead from water pumps to tractors. Evolution of the tractor has accompanied changes in farm technology and sizes of farms. The tractor has progressed from its original primary use as a substitute for animal power to the present units designed for multiple uses. Traction power, belt power, power take-off drives, mounted tools, and hydraulic remote control units, as well as power steering, greater range of power sizes, improved engine design including smaller diesel engines, improved transmissions including more operating speeds, differential lock, rubber tires, electric starting and lighting, improved operator comfort and safety all serve to extend the usefulness and effi ciency of the modern tractor. The term «tractor» appears in the USA in 1890 for a track-laying steam traction engine. A tractor is defi ned as a self-propelled machine that can be used for supplying power for 1. pulling machines, 2. operating the mechanism by means of a belt pulley or a power takeoff. There were two types, namely, a steam tractor, in which an externalcombustion or steam engine supplied the power, and a gas tractor, in which an internal-combustion engine was as the source of power. The steam engines came into use about 1870. They were mounted on wheels and pulled by horses. Later on they were made self-propelling.
The steam tractor for fi eld work had its limitations. It was very heavy and slow moving, the fuel was bulky and diffi cult to handle. They became obsolete as a source of farm power. The fi rst gas tractors were equipped with large slow-speed engines with one or two cylinders. They required a strong frame, large wheels. They were also heavy and were diffi cult to start and handle. Next step was the design of a light-weight, low-priced, all-purpose tractor that could do any kind of fi eld and sta tionary work, including ploughing, harrowing, planting, cultivating, threshing. The fi rst tractors supplying power directly to the mechanism of a fi eld machine by means of a power take-off attachment appeared in 1927. Tractors equipped with diesel engine were introduced in 1931. Low-pressure pneumatic tires fi rst appeared on farm tractors in 1932. Power is required on the farm for doing two kinds of work, namely, tractive work, requiring pulling or drawing effort, and stationary work, usually accomplished by means of a belt, gears, power take-off, or direct drive. Tractive jobs include 1) ploughing and land preparation, 2) planting and seeding, 3) crop cultivation, 4) har vesting, and 5) hauling. Stationary jobs include 1) water pumping, 2) processing, 3) ensilage cutting. There are fi ve possible sources of power for doing the various kinds of work. They are: 1) domestic animals, 2) wind, 3) fl owing water, 4) electricity, 5) engine of tractors. Engines Engine is a machine that converts energy into power or motion. This word was taken from old French engin, from Latin ingenium which means “talent, device”. The original sense was “ingenuity, cunning”, hence ‘the product of ingenuity, a plot or snare”, also “tool, weapon” whence a machine, used later on combinations such as steam engine, internal combustion engine. The history of invention of engines was long. In 1678, Abbe Jean de Haute-feuille proposed to use an explosive powder to obtain power. He was the fi rst man to design an engine using heat as a motive force. Christian Huyghens was the fi rst man to construct an engine having a cylinder and a piston. Later on a great number of en gines were constructed but they were not successful. Only in 1876 N. A. Otto pat ented the fi rst successful engine operating on four-stroke cycle principle. Two years later D. Clerk invented two-stroke-cycle engine, producing one power stroke for every revolution instead of for every two revolutions. Another invention was the work of R. Diesel. He proposed to utilize the heat produced by high compression for igniting the fuel charge in the cylinder.

Farm mechanization Agricultural mechanization dates from the early 1800s. Steel mouldboard ploughs were invented in 1837. George Washington took part in designing a grain seeding machine. One of the fi rst farm machines was a grain reaper. Early fi eld machines were powered quite well by animals. Animals were used to produce stationary rotary power. By 1850, steam power was introduced, and it remained an important powered source for the next seventy-fi ve years. Production of steam-powered machines stopped in the 1920s. Internal combustion engines were developed about 1900 and have become the power source for mobile machinery. Most of the internal combustion engine mechanisms were adapted from earlier steam engines. The early steam engines were furnished with belt power but had to be pulled from place to place by horses or oxen. The next step in the evolution in farm power was the conversion of the steam engine into a self-propelled traction engine. Successful steam engines appeared in the 1850s.The development of track-type agricultural tractors began about 1900. Early attempts to develop gasoline tractors were stimulated by the need to reduce the number of workers required to attend the steam tractors, both when ploughing and when operating threshing machines. Early gasoline tractors resembled steam tractors. The internal-combustion engine became important when Otto patented his four-stroke cycle engine. UNIT 2 ENGINE CYCLE AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION A mechanical device or machine that converts heat and other forms of energy such as wind, fl owing water, and electricity into useful power is called an engine or a motor. Since the fuel is ignited and burned inside the cylinder, the engine is called internal combustion engine. Four distinct types of internal combustion engines have been developed and are being utilized. These are 1) the rotary engine, 2) the jet engine, 3) the gas tur bine engine, and 4) the reciprocating or piston-type engine. Let us consider the last one.
Cycle of operations. Any piston-type internal-combustion engine is known as the four-stroke-cycle type and the two-stroke-cycle type. A cycle consists of the strokes taking place in each cylinder of an engine between two successive explosions in that cylinder. These strokes are: 1) the intake of a combustible mixture, 2) the compression of this mixture, 3) the ignition of the compressed mixture, and the ex pansion of the burned gases producing the power, and 4) the exhaust of the products of combustion. In the two-stroke-cycle engine, two strokes of the piston or one revolution of the crankshaft is required to complete this cycle. In the four-stroke-cycle type, four strokes of the piston or two complete revolutions of the crankshaft are needed, and the four strokes are called intake, compression, power, and exhaust. It must be kept in mind that, in engines of more than one cylinder, this cycle of stokes must be carried out in each of the cylinders. Two-stroke-cycle operation. Two important characteristics of twostroke-cycle construction must be kept in mind: 1) that ports or openings in the cylinder walls at some distance below the head serve as intake and exhaust valves and 2) that the crank end of the engine cylinder is enclosed. The piston in its upward motion has closed the ports e and h and is compressing the charge. At the same time the crankcase volume is being increased and the fuel mixture is drawn into the crankcase through an opening d, to be compressed on the next down ward stroke of the piston and forced through a connecting passage f into the combus tion space when the intake port e is uncovered. Near the end of the compression stroke the spark is produced and the compressed charge is fi red. The explosion and resulting expansion send the piston downward on its power stroke, the two ports are uncovered. Consid erable pressure remains in the cylinder, thus forcing the burned gases out through the exhaust port h. At the same time, the fresh mixture in the crankcase has been compressed on the downward stroke and passes upward through the intake port to the combustion chamber. The piston has now completed two strokes, and the crankshaft has made one revolution, thus completing the cycle.
