TerraSaver – Manual

The TerraSaver™ is a human-powered tractor and cropping system being developed specifically for third-world farmers. The tractor will be pedaled by two people and will be equipped with a cultivator/subsoiler, drill, broadcaster (for fertilizing) and TerraStars for wheels. It is intended to perform all of these functions, like the TerraSystem, in one pass.

This technology is being designed to address the desertification problem that exists in many third world countries and provide farmers with the tools to become self sufficient. The TerraSaver will require no power source. Moreover, it will be simple to use and we estimate its retail cost at less than $1,000.00.  While this technology is currently in the concept stage, we intend to pursue patents on both the TerraSystem and TerraSaver technologies.

We believe that the TerraSaver will effectively enable farmers in lesser-developed countries to address problems relating to but not limited to desertification, deforestation, compaction, and acidification and help them begin reaping the benefits of “precision farming” using TerraStar technology.
