Abstract

The potential of vegetable crops is very important in many regions, especially in large cities. The problem is planting vegetable seeds in a large area and it will generate a lot of energy. For that, we need seeding technology (seeders). Currently, vegetable seeding is still done manually, by placing the seeds one by one into the hole in the seeding tray. The purpose of this study was to obtain a seeding machine with better performance and make it easier for farmers to do the seeding. This study uses data collection methods to evaluate performance and modified the sprue. Planning for the groove opening tool in the drawing with Auto CAD software and the groove opening tool consists of a sprocket, shaft, shaft protector, groove blade. The resulting groove has a depth of approximately 20 cm with a width of 5 cm, this groove opening tool will be paired with a modified seed seeding machine by removing an axle that continues from the pulley to the axle, so that it goes straight from the pulley to the axle. wheels. Evaluate performance and get average speed after 10 m⁄s modification from previously only 4.2 m⁄s, and the groove opening tool has 0.33 hp power, 72 Nm of torque. The results obtained by the path opening tool can facilitate the work of farmers and reduce losses due to scattered seeds during manual sowing and increase the speed of production of seedlings carried out by seed sowing machines.
