ABSTRACT
The Topic of our Study is: A STUDY ON FARMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS ROTAVATOR
The objectives of our research are to determine the buying behavior of farmers towards rotavator. To identify factors which affect on buying behavior one way or other, to determine ways to cope with it and managing it in the superior manner, to make a more sales from the point of view of the buying farming equipments.

Understanding Farmers Buying Behavior Issues to be considered for understanding consumers: - Who constitutes the market? - What does the market buy? - Why does the market buy? - Who participates in the market? - How does the market buy? - When does the market buy? - Where does the market buy? Occupants Objects Objectives Organizations Operations Occasion Outlets
What is consumer behavior? It is defined as the acts of individuals directly involved in obtaining and using economic goods and services, including decision processes that precede and determine these acts. Black Box Approach - buying decisions are influenced by external and internal stimuli. - external stimuli are (a) marketing mix elements (four Ps) (b) environmental factors (economic, technological, political and cultural) - internal stimuli (cultural, social, personal and psychographic)
The outcome of the interaction of these variables are decision set: - product choice - brand choice - dealer choice - purchase time - purchasing amount Economic factors - disposable income, savings, cash flows, assets holdings - government interventions through taxes, loans, pricing Life Style - personal activities, personality, self confidence, autonomy, dominance Motivation - food security, status, compulsion (resource scarcity) Perception - the process by which an individual selects, organizes and interprets information inputs to create a meaningful picture of a work Belief and attitude - belief is a descriptive thought that a person holds about something - attitude refers to favorable or unfavorable cognitive evaluation, emotional feeling and action towards some products - belief vis--vis established system of values and patterns
Social factors - norms and values define the structure of the relationship of the member in the society
- various interest groups like family, neighbors and community and any reference group
Awareness - at this stage farmer recognize the problem - comes to know about a number of products which can be used to solve the problem - but lacks any detailed information or knowledge - this process needs effective extension work given low literacy level of farmers in India Information search - at this stage a farmer develops enough interest about an innovation - seek information about its nature, function, operations and usefulness - behavior of the farmer is purposive Evaluation - farmer evaluates the information to determine the applicability of the product to his personal circumstances and farming situations - evaluates the utility and relative advantages of the product in relation to available alternatives and to his personal aims and goal - does the cost benefit analysis of the product
Adoption - farmer makes actual purchase - integrates the product into his system of farming operations Post purchase evaluation - satisfaction or dissatisfaction based on the performance of the product - guiding force for future decisions and recommendation to fellow farmers - create brand loyalty
ROTARY TILLER A rotary tiller, also known as a rototiller, rotavator, rotary hoe, power tiller, or rotary plough(in US: plow), is a motorized cultivator that works the soil by means of rotating tines or blades. Rotary tillers are either self-propelled or drawn as an attachment behind either a twowheel tractor or four-wheel tractor. For two-wheel tractors they are rigidly fixed and powered via couplings to the tractors' transmission. For four-wheel tractors they are attached by means of a three-point hitch and driven by a power take-off (PTO). In some parts of the world, the term "power tiller" can encompass the larger and similar appearing two-wheeled tractor, a machine which does, however, operate different attachments; in most English-speaking regions this difference is considered more rigid, as the term power tiller (and this article) refers solely to devices with soil cultivation as their primary and often only function. BENEFITS: Suitable for use in dry as well as wet land cultivation. Suitable for light and medium soil conditions. Used for loosening and aerating soil up to a depth of 5-6 inches. Prepares seed beds quickly and economically. FEATURES: Single speed gear box with 3 Point linage, Compatible with 540 PTO RPM. Easy depth adjustment. Available in both gear driven and chain driven. Type of blade- L type.

Rotary tillers are popular with home gardeners who want large vegetable gardens. The garden may be tilled a few times before planting each crop. Rotary tillers may be rented from tool rental centers for single-use applications, such as when planting grass. The small rototiller is typically propelled forward via a (1 - 5 horsepower or 0.8 - 3.5 kilowatts) petrol engine rotating the tines, and do not have powered wheels, though they may have small transport/level control wheel(s). To keep the machine from moving forward too fast, an adjustable tine is usually fixed just behind the blades so that through friction with deeper untilled soil, it acts as a brake, slowing the machine and allowing it to pulverize the soils. The slower a rototiller moves forward, the more soil tilth can be obtained. The operator can control the amount of friction/braking action by raising and lowering the handlebars of the tiller. Rototillers do not have a reverse as such backwards movement towards the operator could cause serious injury. While operating, the rototiller can be pulled backwards to go over areas that were not pulverized enough, but care must be taken to ensure that the operator does not stumble and pull the rototiller on top of himself. Rototilling is much faster than manual tilling, but notoriously difficult to handle and exhausting work, especially in the heavier and higher horsepower models.

If the rototiller's blades catch on unseen subsurface objects, such as tree roots and buried garbage, it can cause the rototiller to abruptly and violently move in any direction.
