Abstract: The present investigation was carried out at research farm of IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh in the year 2018-19 and 2019-20. This experiment was carried out to optimize the following design and operational parameters. Planting material; three size of potato tubers (Round, oblong and long-oblong), independent parameters; Peripheral speeds (V
1, V
2, V
3), Drive wheels used (W
1, W
2, W
3), Angle of furrow opener (S
1, S
2, S
3), Dependent variables; Single percentage, Double percentage, Multiple percentage, Missing percentage, Damage percentage. The combined effect of peripheral speeds, angles of shovel and drive wheel sizes on seed rate for all round, oblong and long-oblong shapes were observed. The averages missing percentage for round shapes were varied from 1.49 to 2.02 %. Minimum missing percentage were observed as 1.49±0.07 % (V
