The document discusses the status of farm mechanization in India, noting that strengthening farm power will be crucial to increase food production as India has a large agricultural workforce but low levels of farm mechanization compared to other countries. It provides details on the sources of farm power in India, which is currently dominated by tractors, and faces challenges of high costs, land fragmentation, and low tractor penetration that limit wider adoption of farm mechanization. However, the tractor market is expected to continue growing as it represents an opportunity to boost low agricultural productivity through the introduction of machinery.
Power Tiller is a walking tractor that is commonly used for soil cultivation. Power Tiller is the best choice for small & medium scale farmers. It helps to reduce animal and man power. It is a machine compiled with a powerful engine & designed to push forward or backward.
Power Tiller is a very capable machine to perform various operations in farm like rotary, puddler, leveler, trailers, plow disc & thresher. One of the most important functions of the Power Tiller is that it correctly seeds the crop to be planted and warms the soil before planting by burying the ruminant in it. Because of controlling weeds it helps to crops growth.
A transplanter is an Agriculture machine used for transplanting seedlings to the field. This is very important as it reduces the time taken to transplant seedlings (when compared to manual transplanting), thus allowing more time for harvesting. It also reduces the use of manual energy. Paddy transplanter machines are comes in 2 , 3 , 4 up-to 6 rows for large capacity field .

Tractor is a self propelled power unit having wheels or tracks for operating agricultural implements and machines including trailers.
Tractor engine is used as a prime mover for active tools and stationary farm machinery through power-take off (pto) or belt pulley
