Smart Mechanization
The two-wheel tractor is the world’s first multipurpose tractor designed for rugged small plots of land. It comes with attachments for land prep, irrigation, harvest, and transport, keeping the machine active throughout the year. With technology and new business models, this machine has the potential to radically change smallholder systems.
- Engine on Wheel: the smart tractor is a multi-purpose power source for wet and dry season farm applications
- Easy to Use: the Smart Tractor comes with both crank and electric start options for users with different needs
- Small plot Appropriate: the Smart Tractor has a small turning radius ideal for small plots
