Most crops especially rice, are labour driven and require about 70-85 labour days per acre. Since large workforce is involved in agriculture, the process becomes time consuming and expensive. Nowadays it has become difficult to obtain labour and water at the right time for various activities of farming. Thus, to conquer these problems there is a requirement of mechanical tools in the field of crop cultivation. One such tool being a mechanical crop transplanter. The focus of this machine is to develop a machine which will address issues faced by farmers in terms of manpower and resources. This paper is aimed towards a transplanter which is based on a simple four bar mechanism and runs on solar power. The mechanism includes a crank, which is rotated with the help of a DC motor. The crank moves the rocker link with the help of a connecting rod. The connecting rod is used as the picking arm to plant the seedlings into the ground. Using the connecting rod as picking arm is more efficient than using the rocker because the connecting rod can perform general motion. The motor is powered by a rechargeable battery, which can be charged by the help of solar energy as well as through domestic power supply. This transplanter will be very economical for small scale farmers who are planning to start farming and are looking for relatively cheaper methods of cultivation. Keywords—Transplanter, four-bar mechanism, solar, multipurpose. I. INTRODUCTION Crop transplantation is perhaps the most crucial method where small seeds are sown at one place and they are transplanted to another field after the seeds take the form of small seedlings after attaining a certain age. This is often arranged in the form of drains to get higher renounce and less weeding. Furthermore, harvesting of prior crop and planning of the substrate and transplantation should be done in a small time period in multiplied planting by doing customary way of transplantation, it would be hard. These variables appear the require for mechanization of transplantation even more than before. Labor costs, timing in transplantation and the depth at which seedlings ought to be planted are some of other factors that indicate the necessity of fully loaded mechanized transplanter in the field of agriculture. Although the conversion of manual transplantation into mechanized transplantation would, to some extent lead to the reduction in demand of labour but it would also result in maximum efficiency along with minimum damage to the seedlings. However, this requirement happens when the labour’s income is less than the revenue provided by machines replacement. Nowadays Indian farmers are inclined towards adopting new agricultural methods along with new technologies. Hence in this paper main focus is on crop transplantation machine which could give a colossal breakthrough to the agribusiness segment particularly in the field of crop cultivation. A crop transplanter is a special equipment which is best suited to the transplantation of small seedlings on marshy paddy fields. Machine transplantation of the crops is one the most effective alternatives to manual transplantation, since it can achieve less labour cost, timely transplantation
