Design
Evaluation 3 of 5
The design tool is as follows: the base frame is welded from rectangular pipe. On the frame is put on a pusher made of a metal rod and a rectangular plate. By pusher welded metal bracket, which serves as a handle.
In the lower part of the frame is set on the welding metal cylinder whose wall portion is cut. With this cylinder occurs digging plant together with a lump of earth and transferred to another location.
Also welded to the frame shank made of a metal circular pipe.
I think with this tool can significantly accelerate the process of planting and transplanting plants. But the device is easier to enter the Earth, it is necessary to sharpen the edge of the cylinder. Sharing can be done telescopic for ease of operation, depending on growth. Handle the cutting, I would have done is not moving, use any plastic.
In general, the need to modify the design, so only 3 points.
