Agriculture machinery

Enter the area to be worked and the window there is to work it in. The list below is what that implies — how many tractors, which implements, and the pump set the irrigation demand needs — with a rate column you fill in yourself.

Your figures

Land under cultivation(acres)

Working window(days)

Days available for the heaviest operation — usually land preparation.

Working hours(hours/day)

Field capacity(acres/hour)

What one tractor covers ploughing. Around 1.2 for a 55-75 hp machine.

Irrigation depth(mm/day)

Peak crop water use. Sets the pump, not the tractors.

Material take-off

What to buy, at what size, and how many — worked out from the figures above.

Rates

CurrencyFabricated steel (₨/kg)Skilled labour (₨/day)

Every line is estimated from those two figures: its steel — or steel-equivalent — mass at the steel rate, stainless at 3.2×, plus its install days at the labour rate. There is no price feed behind this, so the two anchors are seeded from typical Pakistan figures as of September 2026 and are yours to correct. Type over any individual rate and yours is used instead.

Questions

How is the number of tractors worked out?

The area divided by what one tractor covers in the window: field capacity in acres per hour, times hours per day, times days available. It is sized on the heaviest operation, normally land preparation, because that is the one with a deadline.

Why is there one plough per tractor but one drill per two?

Ploughs work at the same time as the tractors do — every tractor needs its own. Sowing follows preparation rather than running alongside it, so a drill can move between machines. The same logic gives one leveller per five hundred acres: it is used once in the season.

Where does the pump size come from?

Peak crop water use in millimetres per day across the area, converted to cubic metres and spread over the working hours. A millimetre of depth over a square metre is a litre, and an acre is 4,046.86 square metres.

What is not included?

Harvesting equipment, threshers, land development, tube-well boring and civil work, storage, and anything crop-specific. Field capacity varies with soil and implement width — the default suits a 55 to 75 horsepower tractor on medium soil.
