DESCRIPTION

Small-Scale Equipment and Innovative Techniques for Boosting Productivity
The Two-Wheel Tractor Handbook shows small-scale growers how to leverage this versatile, affordable, yet under-utilized tool to maximize the productivity and profitability of their enterprises. Required reading for urban farmers, suburban gardeners, rural homesteaders, orchardists, landscapers, and market gardeners.

Small but mighty — a comprehensive guide to the use of two-wheel tractors for highly productive gardens, landscapes, and farms

TWO-WHEEL TRACTORS are multifunctional, economical, practical, maneuverable, portable, and low impact. Yet choosing the equipment is only half of it; the other half is integrating the right machine and implements into your land-based enterprise and coupling it with innovative high-efficiency techniques. Coverage includes:

  • Why you need a two-wheel tractor
  • Two-wheel tractor essentials including tractor implement options and functions
  • Equipment decision-making to suit your scale, context, enterprises, and budget
  • Safety equipment, operation, and basic maintenance
  • Innovative use strategies including micro-plowing, making "Permabeds," in situ mulching, the "Compost-a-path Method," crop guilds, scaling up, and diversified crop management
  • How to start from scratch, clearing new land, scaling up your enterprises, and more
  • Case studies and rich examples from suburban landscaping to commercial market gardens from Europe and North America
  • "Pro tips," "design boxes," and other sidebars for rapidly elevating your skills.

The Two-Wheel Tractor Handbook shows small-scale growers how to leverage walk-behind tractors to maximize the productivity and profitability of their enterprises. This full-color, highly illustrated guide is a must-have tool for urban farmers, suburban gardeners, rural homesteaders, orchardists, landscapers, and market gardeners looking to boost production.
