Food security is one of the main keys in the welfare and progress of the nation and the country. Most developed countries in the world today have the ability to self-sufficiency. One effort to integrate agriculture is to increase the ability in terms of land processing or land preparation before planting time. One stage of land preparation is a step in crowded soil to spread soil. This process must be done well so that plant roots are easier to develop into the ground so that they will absorb nutrients faster needed for plant growth. The more difficult to find human workers to work on the land has triggered agricultural activities previously carried out by human workers now some begin to coagulate. This condition became the main background of the proposal of this research activities so that these land can be reused for food production. This prototype was built a hand-based hand tractor. Modification is done on the wheels and transmission to get the function as desired.
Application of appropriate technology
The problems faced can be divided into two namely technical problems and administrative issues. Technical problems because most of the engine equipment components are still imported so they become Guidance in designing the system. For this technical problem it is not easy to solve it Because the national industry, especially the component industry is generally still weak. Whereas the adamination problem faced is a very rigid financial system not Results oriented / output that makes the research results not optimal.
