Hi all,
There are many good things happening across the African continent today, and here is another opportunity!
This website offers free plans for building tractors and farm equipment at home.
8 times cheaper than traditional assembly line produced tractors and brickmakers and ovens and mills and all the other top 50 inventions for village life! (They are working on the top 50, stay tuned and/or help out!)
Available both online or as a DVD!
DEFY the greedy multinational corporations trying to bankrupt Africa through expensive equipment!
Has a forum — log in with your preferred open id code!
No paying for unnecessary branding or middle men or marketers or transport of rare parts across vast distances
Once you have built it you know how to repair it!
When you can build all the bits you need locally, there’s no ordering expensive stuff in from overseas.
Parts are fairly interchangable. That might make for some unusual looking stuff, but at least it works!
Are we approaching some self-organizing system like this at the local level in Africa? Will governments allow it?
Check it out! Pass it on to farmers you know, villagers and people who might need help. This is an Open Source opportunity. . . not spam. . . I'm genuinely a 'greenie activist' trying to help!

Who can print out these plans and take them to a local friend who might need a cheap tractor on their farm? They say that it can be built at 1/8th the price. Anyone?
Let the revolution begin!
