Description

The Guntuka (also spelled Guntaka or Vakhar) is a heavy-duty agricultural implement widely used across India for crucial secondary tillage operations, specifically designed to function as a blade harrow, weed remover, and land leveler. Built from durable materials like mild steel or cast iron, this versatile tool is available in tractor-mounted formats for large-scale operations or as a compact attachment tailored for 5 HP to 12 HP power weeders and petrol tillers in row-crop fields like vegetables and orchards. Its core mechanics often feature a combination of an adjustable three-tine cultivator with rigid metal shanks to break up compacted crusts, alongside specialized flat leveling blades. This design allows farmers to effectively uproot and shear deep-seated weeds, crush stubborn soil clods, and uniformly flatten the seedbed in a single pass.
