The ubiquitous 2-ton trailer for Chinese two-wheel tractors in south Asia are an extremely important source of off agricultural season income (7-9 months in a year) for their owners/operators. These simple trailers are made in local workshops in Nepal, India and Bangladesh saving valuable foreign currency. They are manufactured with various hydraulic and manual brake systems. More importantly these tractor-trailers provide very important transport services within the rural areas as well as between rural and urban centers carrying everything from grains and produce to market and fertilizers and bricks back to the farm. Costs in Nepal range from 600 - 900 USD.
