The Product Itself
The two-person operated hand cultivator is a product that should allow Nepalese farmers to be able to cultivate their land much quicker and more efficiently. The product itself is comprised of 2 wheels at the bottom of the device, angled inward to move and churn the soil into rows. Up from the wheels would come two handle on opposite sides for two people to operate the device, simultaneously cultivating and rowing the soil.
The product being proposed currently isn’t a product on the market. This product is only in the design phase and still needs to be developed and tested but still many key elements were able to be estimated and thought of. Rough prototypes of this piece of equipment estimate the wheels will be 15 to 20 inches in diameter and the entire piece of equipment will require around 900 square inches of material. 22 gauge G90 galvanized sheet steal produced and sold in Canada will be used at $24.36 per 900 square inches (Metal supermarkets, 2016). The steel for this product doesn’t have to be extremely thick, the qualities that were being looked for was just to be sturdy and be able to hold its shape once pressed into shape. The metal would be source from a company called Metal Supermarkets which has over 75 stores north America wide and has 22 stores in Canada.
