As we Japanese have special passion to have good rice. So rice farmer pays great care to the rice field. Unfortunately these rice farmers are becoming older, because young people want to live in cities. So they need help of machines to make rice with fewer populations and labors.
After one month planting the seedling they drain water from the rice field. The reason why they have to drain water from field is because luck of oxygen in the soil. If they leave the water, rice roots become rot down. So they make drain to dehydrate even quicker comparing to natural drying.
This one wheel riding machine is improved one from previous pushing model.
Even it seems very simple machine; it is product of necessities of irrigated farming.
I think this machine is used only in Japanese rice field. The price is 250,000 Yen.
