A couple of months ago when I went to hire a tractor for making of ridges in my farm, the process was tedious and competitive cause there was just only one tractor for several communities within the locality..
So they would hardly have time to show up and do yours cause other farmers are on their neck as well. Unless you are a politician or a top man in those villages, they won't even come your way.
For nearly three weeks, we keep following them up and going their base which is in another community to ask for The availability of the machine. From one strory to another, they keep telling us, yet we didn't give
Of the farm wasn't that big, perhaps, we would have opted for manual ridges making. The challenge with that one is that it is cost demanding and would take days to be completed. Unlike using tractors that would be just within hours and less expensive
Other farmers were coming to them too to ask for their services. There was the one they needed to go and clear rice farm before coming to our own farm but the day before that, their machine got spoilt. They had to spend almost a day in the mechanic before going to the rice site. Unfortunately, they couldn't finish that rice farm that day meaning ours won't be possible the next day.
When it finally got to our turn, that morning, we visited their base. There, they were trying to remove the tractor's rod/motor to put the one for ridges builder. After coupling it, we headed to our farm which was in another community to do the job.
