Abstract

Shovel is commonly used for soil lifting, weed removal,ormation, lifting straw, etc. Due to soil packing, unequal height, and other factors, the standardized spade size is not suitable for every worker and every field situation. As a result, the standard shovel lacked flexibility and was unsuitable for all of the labours need to work productively. So a shovel should be introduced that can quickly change the shovel metal head or blade angle to carry out the task effectively, and the wooden handle should be replaced with a suitable alternative.The authors have undertaken several studies looking which aims to research on shovel that increases overall yield while also immediately lowering time consumption and protection.
