The microtrac tractor is a perfect solution for small scale agricultural uses or where land features require a more flexible tool than a full-size tractor.
The microtractor consists of 2 modules from the Global Village Construction Set -a power cube - our flexibly hydraulic power unit, and the modular wheel unit.
These two are simply put together - by mounting the wheel units around the bottom of the frame - resulting in traction machine.
Small tracks are placed around the wheels.
The Power Cube feeds the modular wheel units, and motion is controlled through a hydraulic valve.
To finish off the Microtracor, we need to add to add a quick attach mount for implements - which cosists of a single hydraulic cylinder that moves an attachment plate up and down to lift implements onto itself.
Possible implements include a rototiller, such as a small version of the soil pulverizer that we use on our full-sized tractor - a supersized string trimmer mower, a calfdozer - or a small version of a bulldozer, a snow blower, chipper, stump grinder, or baler for small round bales.
It may also be uses as a mobile power unit to power the Compressed Earth Brick press, a power generator, the open source ironworker machine, of many other machines.
