Entry Description

PCRT is a machine for Pomacea canaliculata removal and rice transplanting in rural areas. The front end of the machine uses a wheel-axle mechanism to shovel the soil and filter the Pomacea canaliculata in the soil, while the back end of the machine assists farmers in planting rice. There are two types of wheel design, one is a three-wheeled way to help the farmer use the machine in the rice mud, and the other is for when he leaves the farm and climbs the slopes.
