Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance parameters of tractor operated trailed type disc harrow on vertisols condition of the soil. All the tests were conducted on the research field associated with the College of agricultural Engineering, JNKVV Jabalpur (M.P.) The results of performance parameters of disc harrow were observed after five-time replication of the dependent variables 2.5 km/h forward speed and 15-17 cm depth of operation at 30x40 square meter test plot. After following all the methodology of test according to the Indian standards, the results were found as total weeding efficiency 51.25%, draft 8.10 kN, effective field capacity 0.26 ha/h, field efficiency 57.73 ha/h, fuel consumption 6.966 l/h, and wheel slippage percentage 9.028% respectively. These findings can guide future optimization strategies for agricultural practices using similar machinery in vertisol field conditions.
