They are fully reflected in our identity, which is found in our AL-KO brand as well as in all our products. We live for quality. Ultimately we have set ourselves an emotive mission: To improve the quality of life for our customers. What do we mean by "Quality for life"? The Executive Board of AL-KO KOBER SE (from left): Dr Nico Reiner (CFO, AL-KO KOBER SE), Stefan Kober (CEO, AL-KO KOBER SE), Peter Kaltenstadler (COO, AL-KO KOBER SE) www.al-ko.com/garden 4 I FOR GREATER ENJOYMENT IN THE GARDEN For more than 50 years, we have been your requirements. Have fun browsing and developing and designing innovative discovering – and of course when you are garden tools for an extremely wide range of working with your AL-KO garden tools. requirements and applications. Not only do our tools reflect our many years of expertise in their technology and function, they also set new standards in terms of design. But Dr Wolfgang Hergeth what would our innovations be without you, Managing Director our customers? After all, it is only you who make our garden tools a success. And that is why we do all we can to inspire you – so that every day you can stand in your own personal paradise with a feeling of satisfaction, and say to yourself, "Perfect". Plunge into the world of AL-KO and get to know our high-quality products – without doubt you will also find just the right tool for AL-KO GARDENTECH MAKE LIGHT WORK OF ENJOYING YOUR GARDEN 4 I 5 Most AL-KO petrol lawnmowers are built on a greenfield site at the QUALITY FOR LIFE Obdach plant in Austria. AL-KO stands for petrol lawnmowers made in Austria. Here, in tranquil Obdach in Styria, we produce the majority of our garden tools, designed in the Swabian region of Bavaria. With the flexibility and security of an owner- managed company, our goal is to meet the requirements of our customers all the time. AL-KO INSIDE ENGINEERED IN GERMANY – MADE IN AUSTRIA www.al-ko.com/garden 6 I WHEN THE BEST IS EXPECTED With German efficiency, our research and development engineers create pioneering garden tools from hundreds of individual parts: materials of the highest quality, ingenious technology, perfect ergonomics and a sure feel for form and detail make our garden tools unmistakable. The rigorous quality requirement that characterises the AL-KO brand is guaranteed through our comprehensive technology programme that is consistently planned and implemented by AL-KO development engineers, designers and technicians - from the first design, to prototype construction and the end product. The new Technology Centre at the Kötz site is the place where AL-KO's innovative equipment is developed and subjected to thorough testing. 6 I 7 WHICH MOWER FOR YOUR GARDEN? WITH AL-KO, YOU CAN FIND THE CORRECT MOWER FOR YOUR REQUIREMENTS HOW LONG WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOW FOR? We recommend choosing the size of your mower according to the size of your lawn. The decisive factor for the mowing time is the cutting width. General rule: the larger the cutting width, the faster you get the job of mowing done. In addition, you do not need to empty the grass catcher so often, because it is usually larger on wider machines. On the other hand, you could sit back and take it easy with an automatic lawnmower. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MULCH OR SIDE-DISCHARGE? AL-KO petrol lawnmowers are the masters of their trade – including when it comes to mulching and side-discharging. This is because many models can be converted in a matter of moments, without tools, simply by installing the mulching insert or side discharge chute. For this option, always look out for the 3INONE or 4INONE functions. HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? Whether you have a small garden with a small lawn, a medium-sized garden with beds and slopes or a large and complex garden – irrespective of what your garden looks like and what your expectations for convenience are, we always have the right tool for you: From the small electric mower with a 32cm cutting width, to petrol lawnmowers with variable-speed wheel drive, and even practical, automatic lawnmowers. SMALL GARDEN MEDIUM GARDEN For a small garden, we recommend a walk- Does your garden have relatively large lawns, as well as slight behind mower with an electric motor or slopes? Then we would advise you to choose a fairly wide machine petrol engine because they are light and with wheel drive, for convenient and energy-saving mowing. manoeuvrable. www.al-ko.com/garden 8 I FOR A 400m2 LAWN IT WILL TAKE YOU … 16 25 32 36 40 48 4 Min. 6 Min.

Lawnmowers come with a battery and charger. This means that you only need to purchase hand tools (without a battery). www.al-ko.com/garden 10 I LITHIUM-ION TECHNOLOGY The EnergyFlex battery provides impressive power with its 36 V and 4 Ah. It is extremely long-lasting, non self-discharging and there is also no memory effect, thanks to its lithium-ion cells. QUIET OPERATION.

The heart of the EnergyFlex series is the 36V/4.0Ah battery unit. Alongside its attractive design, it excels through its strong performance and short recharging time of just 90 minutes. The integrated LED display informs you quickly and easily when the battery needs recharging. When the battery is fully charged, you can work with it for up to 120 minutes, depending on the tool. It can be used not only with three lawnmowers but also with numerous hand tools – from lawn trimmers and leaf blowers, hedge trimmers and chainsaws and through to the versatile multi-tool, everything is possible. And thanks to the many different attachments with the multi-tool, you are perfectly equipped for practically any gardening task. Whether you are working at ground level or high above, with the brushcutter, trimmer, hedge trimmer or pole pruner attachments, you can perform your tasks more quietly, without emissions and annoying cables, at all times.

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.

  • The Perfect Scythe – and Other Implements
    Journal of Nordic Archaeological Science 15, pp. 5–17 (2005) The perfect scythe – and other implements Janken Myrdal Section of Agricultural History, Dept. of Economics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Box 7013, SE-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden ([email protected]) The theoretical foundation for the present article is the restricted number of solutions to a specific problem, which will determine the measurable regularity in the form of implements. Statistical analysis has been used on a number of implements from the collections at Nordiska museet to see if a deeper under- standing of their functionality can be reached. Different combinations of the dimensions of spades have been tested, and especially the relation between a straight shoulder and a pointed edge, while for rakes the length of the shaft is discussed, and on scythes the form of the snath. The main example in this arti- cle is the scythe blade, and the relation between its length and weight. This re- lationship is close to linear in scythes used for haymaking and the harvesting of corn, as an expression of the endeavour to reach the “perfect form”. Efforts in this direction were made during the scientification of agriculture around 1900, but were also prevalent before that. Later, when the hobby-scythe was taking over, this “perfect form” was abandoned. The perfect form allowed variations according to environmental circumstances, for instance, as longer blades were used to harvest thinner hay. Keywords: scythe, pre-industrial technology, functionality The problem with archaeological material from ex- Introduction cavations is that we have no direct information about During the first decades after World War II quantita- the function of the objects, unlike ethnological collec- tive methods were adopted in many historical sciences.
