I am sure that this thing will not be effective in hills of Uttrakhand and Himachal (Speaking from personnel experience as i have just come after harvesting Wheat in HP ) as Soil is very tight and dry with no or little moisture .
So yes, this Jugaad will work in gujarat . |
Well assumed, assumptions are dangerous.
How do you use a tractor in step farming?
you would need a crain hoist to take tractor from one step to higher or lower one. And then how do you take your crain to lift a tractor, where a tractor can't go?
You have come from himanchal, that too after harvesting? You must be aware that tractors do not work in hills, they simply can't go from one step to next one due to very high gradient.
Don't know about himanchal, but hilly region of uttarakhand does not have even 1 tractor agency, they simply do not get sold.
My family land is in very fertile plains of ganga in UP.
Moreover it is mentioned in the article that he was inspired to make this machine because of frequent famine. How does well irrigated , fertile soil go through famines?
I am not comparing it with a full fledged tractor, the article says it can plough faster than a tractor, with lesser fuel.
I want to bring forward that mere covering distance is not farming.
A simple road going car , simply starts to burn tyres when it gets caught in a rut our pot hole.
How is a bullet not going to simply do a burnout (even if it had power enough to do this), when it has a few shovels diging in the ground? You say gujrat would have loose soil,well irrigated. A bike would simply keep rotating its tyre and not move an inch if the soil is loose and well watered with two/three shovels digging the earth.
Why do tractors have big wheels ,massive grooved tyres for?
