| Summary: | In agricultural production, there is an irrigation process for sowing crops, where a mobile deployable gun sprinkler system is used; such system must be coupled to a tractor, then when it is deployed it must pass over the plantations that are in the stages of germination and production, satisfying the need for irrigation of the planting; due to this procedure the crop is flattened and affected in a considerable area. In this way, one (1) hectare (10,000 m2) that is one hundred percent (100%) sown loses ten percent (10%). The purpose of this research is to build a mobile prototype capable of deploying the gun sprinkler system by constructing a mobile traction mechanism that will be easy to use by the operator. The effectiveness of the project will be observed at the harvest time of the crop where there will be a significant increase per hectare or planted area in the harvest of the products and also a representative decrease in the maintenance costs of the crop, such as fuel and tractor bearings.
