I wonder if a cable drawn plough powered by a stationary bike on the side of the plot, like they used to do with steam engines, wouldn't be more energy efficient? You could even have several people pedalling on a tandem (or more) style stationary bike. Or get a mule ; )
bi11meinphilly I was talking of the load, not the mounting connections. However I now realize some devices have the load up front, such as bulldozers, forklifts and skip loaders; of course that is not drafting.
Fantastic, do you have some plans are you doing it open source?? congratulations....
I see this working really well, maybe as a recumbant type seat and angle of pedal...
how straight does it cultivate? it would be best if it didn't wobble from side to side if you have to work tightly.

This would be good for our farm in the Philippines. How can I get one!
If u get it let me kno
excellent work,
amazing, i have been drawing ideas up for a two man abreast cyclopowered basket weeder that would mount underneath and in front of the operator
Hello Karsten, great - if you'd like to get in on the Farmhack collaboration write me at greentractorfarm@gmail, good luck,

Whether using tractors or draft animal, the load has always been behind the powered wheels - just saying. Technological wisdom is learned over time.

Transmission relation is too big , it needs to be 1/3 or 1/4 , otherwise great idea
