        abstract = {Small and marginal farmers widely use power tillers for various field operations; however, earthing-up and land leveling are still largely performed either manually or using separate attachments, leading to increased labour requirement, time consumption, and operational cost. Non-uniform earthing-up and repeated field passes further reduce field efficiency. To address these issues, the present work focuses on the design and development of a combined earthing-up and leveler attachment for a power tiller. The attachment is designed to be simple, low-cost, and compatible with commonly used power tillers. It consists of adjustable earthing-up blades and a leveling plate mounted on a common frame, allowing efficient soil heaping around crop rows while simultaneously leveling the field surface. The design aims to reduce labour dependency, fuel consumption, and overall operation time. Field performance evaluation indicates improved uniformity in earthing-up, better land leveling, and higher field efficiency compared to conventional methods. The developed attachment offers a practical and economical solution for small and marginal farmers, enhancing power tiller utilization and agricultural productivity.},
