Abstract

The disc harrow is a machine utilized for crushing and homogenization of soil. It has a large number of smooth concave discs, arranged on two or four axes, working in a mirror manner. Precision agriculture is a set of technologies that allows to provide the right input to the ground and to the crop, according to their real needs. The research modified a disc harrow in order to automate its adjustments, so that it takes the best geometry in regard to the soil type. Early tests were done on different soil type.
