Commercially available agricultural machines are not matching with standards which affect the performances. Many times, commercially available reversible shovels used in fixed tyne type tractor drawn cultivator do not match in dimensions as given in respective BIS code. A study conducted in Udaipur, Rajasthan revealed that out of four such shovels only one shovel T-2 fulfilled the requirement of BIS code 6023:1970 whereas maximum deviation was observed for shovel T-4.
