Why I will prefer Bullock Cart ?

Subbu mentioned that coconut waste is available in Nanguneri (about 15 Kms away).  This is the coconut fiber waste available after using the fiber for making coir rope. I guess it will be semi fiber and powder.  They charge Rs. 100/- for a tractor load.  Looks cheaper. But the tractor rent would cost around Rs. 1000 for to and fro. Plus add Rs. 200 for loading and unloading for 2 persons.  That is lot of money totalling around 1300/- for one tractor load of waste.


Contrast that with a bullock cart (If I own one).  The bullock cart ride is free. Carbon free. Bullocks and the driver are the liability. But bullocks can be used for all purposes. The man can be paid a salary of 4000/-.  With this setup we can make a number of sorties in a month.  Time is not a constraint. The cart can take many hours to commute and return back. How does it matter ?  If I calculate what are the applications for which the bullock cart can be employed and how much money can be saved or some useful work can be done, the savings are mind boggling.

So I need a bullock cart.
