Mechanical Monster

A key component to enhancing rice production is simply leveling the land. Now the land looks as flat as a pancake, but it can drop as much as six inches in 200 yards, and that means many small levees to get relatively flat paddies. So, how do you get three inches of land peeled off of one side of a field and deposited 200 yards away in a smooth three inch layer? The answer does not exist in Cambodia. It is a mechanical monster called a "Chain Scraper". What's that?This 18 ton, 30 foot long monster is too big to drive into a shipping container. So, how do you get a huge machine, too wide to fit into a shipping container, to Cambodia for a reasonable price? A little mechanical magic! Simply flip it on its side, cover the floor of the container with quarter inch steel plate, grease it up with liquid soap and slide it in sideways. Now, in one week we get to unload it. Any ideas?[nggallery id=1049]
