The main objective of this project is to analysis the performance of mechanical type fertilizer spreader with a cultivatorfor the agricultural purpose. A method was generated to spread the Vermicompost fertilizer over a fallow land uniformly bydropping the vermicompost fertilizer over the impeller disc. The system consists of three wheels and two hoppers. The wheels areused to impel the fertilizer and two hoppers are used to store the fertilizer. These hoppers are placed at some height from thewheel axle so that the fertilizer falls on to the impeller. The hopper is provided with a flow control mechanism. Below this systemthere is an impeller mounted on the output shaft. Due to centrifugal action, the fertilizer spreads in the farm land. This high valueof centrifugal force is generated by the help of proper gear reduction ratio. The gears are coupled to the shaft of wheel.
