@anthonyguada Hi, It's been a busy fall. I do not know of any sellers outside my area but I would suggest doing a search for used or refurbished equipment. There are a few resellers in Asia. New equipment is so expensive and the shipping costs are outrageous. Look for Kubota or Yanmar and also check alibaba.com to see if they have some reasonable equipment. It would be best, I think, to find a seller in the Phil. because you would want to be able to repair it or replace parts, etc.easily.

great technology" is that works also in deep mud? specialy philippines?

@larzky1039 This does work in deep mud because the "wheels" of the machine are not rubber, they are metal. They are narrow and have notches on them so they can rolls through thick sticky mud without getting sucked down or stuck. Just before planting and during the first flooding, we plow the fields to about40 cm depth to let the water soak in. It's pretty deep and very sticky!You can look on the Yanmar or Kubota sites to see some examples of these machines for sale, also Alibaba.

This is a great video. How muddy does the field have to be. How often you do this in a year?
