@ Falstaff.... nor a radio, gps, a roof, lights etc
I'm no farmer or scientist, but I'm wondering if an analogy can be made to the study into using hamsters to generate electricity......that is, the study came to the conclusion that it is more efficient to burn the hamster food to generate electricity, than to have hamsters running in a dynamo wheel.
A lot of energy must be lost propelling 140kg of tractor along.
I wonder, all things considered, whether a traditional wheel hoe is more effective and efficient.
On a similar theme........bicycle wheel hoe |
A traditional wheel hoe is more effective IMHO, able to tackle more established weeds but slower & harder on the upper body. I've hoed an acre of fodder beet with a wheel hoe & it hurt. Give me the sit on my ass & pedal hoe anyday.
Does a pedalhoe float? |
