The performance evaluation of happy seeder was carried out in combine harvested paddy field at Agriculture farm, IGKV, Raipur (C. G.). The performance and evaluation of the happy seeder with zero till drill and show its effectiveness over the sowing technique, it was done on the basis of field capacity, field efficiency, actual field capacity, fuel consumption and cost of operation, the compression of economics of operation of happy seeder with conventional method of sowing wheat in combined harvested paddy field, to prove the effectiveness. The operating speed was varying from 2.5 to 3.5 km/h to evaluate the variables. The field efficiency of happy seeder was 74.72 % and 63.33 %for zero till drill at operating speed of 3.5 km/h. The crop residue is heavy which was collected by sampling. The cost of operating per hectare by happy seeder was Rs.2382.70/and cost of operation per hectare by zero till-drill (+ straw collected by manually) was Rs. 3200/. Therefore cost of operational with happy economical as compared to zero till drill by Rs. 817.30/ per hectare. But happy seeder is unique technique for sowing wheat in combine harvested paddy field.
