| | Description: | The innovative
attachment can be easily attached to the Motorcycle having a 5.5 HP
diesel engine and the motorcycle gets converted into a 3-wheel
mini-tractor. Various tools can be attached on to the attachment and
therefore various farm operations like shallow ploughing,
inter-culturing, sowing, spraying can be done. This device has the
potential of improving productivity and reducing operating costs for
farmers who are currently using bullocks but cannot afford tractors or
power tillers. The innovator of the Motor
Cycle Driven Plough, Sh. Mansukhbhai Jagani, has done formal studies up
to Class 5th. He worked for couple of years in a diamond processing
unit before he set up a small workshop in his native village. His
creative thought process led him to develop many innovative farm
implements like motorcycle driven ploughing machine, a multipurpose
