Root Vegetable Bed lifter
This a root vegetable bedlifter. It was designed by a Local Potsdam farmer and we were tasked with improving the design. It is attached by a three point hitch and is used to dig underneath shallow root vegetables and loosen the soil around them, making it easier to harvest.
Multimachine
The MultiMachine all-purpose machine tool that can be built by a semi-skilled mechanic with just common hand tools. The necessary material can come from discarded vehicle parts. Using engine blocks as building blocks is the first MultiMachine feature. Since cylinder bores are bored exactly parallel to each other and at exact right angles to the cylinder head surface, MultiMachine accuracy begins at the factory where the engine block was built.

Movable Landworkers Cabin
We are in the formative stage of designing a small wood cabin structure that can be transported on a trailer. They are intended to be used as temporary low impact dwellings for landworkers applying for residential permission to live on agricultural land. They will be made for home grown and home sawn timber, primarily larch and spruce; the maximum size will be 2.5m by 12m; they will have a kitchen, shower and composting toilet. They must be movable but we have yet to decide whether this means they will be built onto a chasis on designed to be raised and lowered onto a trailer base. We would be grateful for any advice from those who have also explored this idea.

Custom 3D printable Jang Seeder Rollers
Custom versions of seeder rollers for a Jang seeder. So far, the YX-24 and LJ-24 are adapted to become YX-48 and LJ-48 rollers to double the amount of seeds that are planted per revolution of the seeder wheel. Instead of alternating seeds one at a time on each side of the wheel, our wheel drops two seeds at a time. We also made the holes slightly deeper on the LJ-48. May 1, 2015 - Added the YX-80 for arugula seeds. 80 per revolution.
