Agricultural production intensification is characterized mainly by an increase in the mechanized soil tillage operations. In the view of proper land preparation a tool bar operated multipurpose power tiller attachment was developed at Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Dr. PDKV, Akola. Its performance evaluated for ploughed land and orchards field for seed bed and broad bed furrow formation. Depth of cut set prior to operation in all cases was observed equals to the set depth. The average speed of operation was found as 4.0 km/h which was most suitable for operator. The actual field capacity was found as 0.137 ha/h with 79.5 % field efficiency where as actual field capacity by traditional method (bullock drawn blade harrow) was 0.03 ha/h. The operation cost was found as Rs. 430/- per hectare where as cost of operation by traditional method (bullock drawn blade harrow) was 2070 Rs/ha. The actual field capacity of tiller attachment for BBF formation was found to be 0.46 ha/h with field efficiency of 79 %. The cost of operation for BBF formation was found to be 280 Rs./ha. Soil pulverization index was found to be 5.66.
