SAND BIRD

About

For rental agencies who own 3-4 tillers and farmers who spend 50% and 16% of their total revenue respectively on operations, Sand Bird is a smart electric semi-automated power tiller that offers 10x lower operational cost with minimum manual intervention unlike conventional power tillers (Eg. VST, KAMCO etc.) which has high rental cost, requires high maintenance and causes health hazards leading to low availability of drivers and low farm mechanization.
