Development of Tramline Traffic System for Rice Broadcasting Culture

Abstract

Large sized paddy field has been constructed in order to improve fieldwork efficiency of a big vehicle for reducing rice production cost. Various kinds of rice direct broadcasting seeding cultural techniques also have been investigated for the same purpose. However, these techniques might bring a difficulty of the rice crop tendering work by a knapsack engine duster.
This paper presents a tramline traffic system for the seeding and the tendering crop in a heavy clay paddy field. The paths of the vehicles should be fixed with equal interval of 10m to minimize the area trampled in every tendering work using the vehicles. A shape of the tramlines is similar to a drain ditch so that improves the drainage and the irrigation. A vehicle would bog by roughed tram surface through a number of passings on the tramlines. Reinforcement of the tramlines by soil cement was effective for improving maneuverability of the vehicles.
