A year ago I bought an old asparagus harvester at a farm auction. It was rusty and the motor did not run. I basically rebuilt it, and converted it to DC electric power. I put the canopy on it and can use it for just about anything in a large garden from fertilizer to harvest. No gas, no oil, no noise, no problem! It steers with the feet, so your hands are free to do what you need done. Just an idea I thought to share and perhaps inspire.

The canopy is dual purpose, solar panels on top keep the batteries charged. The motor is geared down so it moves slowly. There is an on-off switch mounted to the right side foot pedal so you can stop the cart when you need to. There are also hydraulic hand brakes for the left and right wheels. The seat is adjustable, and you can carry your empty containers as well as your full ones with you as you move along.

I'm trying to figure out how you steer it. I see no tie rod and what appears to be something to push with your feet look to be behind a frame member. Help me out please.
 
No cultivators. This little machine is used to weed or fertilize garden rows in the spring, and then later to harvest crops like asparagus,
strawberries, etc., and other crops that are low to the ground. This machine eliminates a lot of the bending and lifting.
 
Originally, this machine had a 7 hp. Kohler engine, manual transmission with a #60 chain drive to the rear end. I removed everything except the rear end, and replaced the driven gear with a larger one.
 
Thanks for the compliment! If you notice, just in front of the rear wheels, there is an opening on each side into the frame whereby you slide a 2.5 inch square tubing into. It is adjustable, and has a seat and foot rest mounted to it. The machine now converts from a one row to a three row.
