Rotavator Benchmarking and Reverse Engineering

Project Scope


  • Phase 1: Market Study & Competitor Analysis

  • Phase 2: Reverse Engineering, Design Verification, & Drawing Preparation

  • Phase 3: Prototype Build Support

  • Phase 4: Field Reliability Testing

  • Phase 5: Spare Parts Catalogue Development


Business Challenges


  • Determining the appropriate chain/gear reduction ratio for the primary and

    secondary drive, with calculations for the required RPM (214 RPM with a

    20-tooth and 19-tooth gear combination) for 55 HP PTO tractors with a 42-

    blade configuration

  • Selecting the correct flange size and spacing to accommodate various

    blade types available in the market, ensuring a cutting depth of 7 inches

    (170 mm)

  • Customizing components based on customer requirements and addressing

    field failures


ARi’s Solutions
