Carting trials were carried out with pneumatic (Cl) and iron cart (C2), on field (R1), kaccha (R2) and tar road (R3) with load of Ll (1000kg), L2 (750kg) and L3 (500 kg). The draft generated by bullock with combination of C2, Ll and R1 has given the highest draft of 141.18 kg, where as the combination of Cl, L3 and R3 has given the lowest draft of 25.63 kg. combination of Cl, L3 and R3 has given the highest speed of 5.66 km/hr, whereas; the combination of C2, Ll and R1 has given the lowest speed of 2.32 km/hr. Combination of C2, Ll and R1 has given the highest horse power of 1.21, whereas; the combination of Cl, L3 and R3 has given the lowest horse power of 0.53. The overall performance of Red Kandhari bullock with pneumatic carts showed significant differences (P<0.01) and superiority compared to iron cart as far as the draft, carting speed and horse power were concerned. 收起
