In the field of agricultural also we had seen remarkable development, big farmers are now a day’s using cultivator, harvester, tractor, advance machine tools and advance farm equipment’s, but in the country like India, 70% of farmers are small and marginal and they are still doing farming by traditional method. Thus they are in need of improved agricultural tools that may be hand driven or bullock driven. In this paper similar advanced type of tool is designed. Modelling and analysis of Agricultural Plough is done. The input conditions are taken based on a survey leading to understanding of the zero ground conditions. Materials and manufacturing processes are selected for manufacturing the same. Keywords: Survey, Design, Analysis 1. Introduction are still using traditional tools such as Plough, Harrow, Liner, Cultivator, Seed Sowing tools.

The practice of intentional wealth deposition in hoards was particularly prolific during the European Bronze Age; however, the motivations behind this practice remain unclear. Comparisons of the contents of hoards through space and time can yield valuable data regarding the purpose and process of deposition, but one of the most common items found in Bronze Age hoards—bronze sickles—remains understudied.
