Drip lateral coiling is very difficult job to make the bundle in the field. At the present coiling operation is done by hand and in this method there is chance to twist and damage the laterals. During placing and coiling the laterals, the labour has continuous to bend often and often to collect and coil, which increases drudgery in operation. Besides these constrains the efficiency of manual coiling and decoiling is very poor and improper coiling and decoiling increased the damage to the laterals and reduces the life of the laterals. In order to overcome these problems, Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Dr. PDKV, Akola has made an attempt to design and develop power operated coiler.
