An Indian farmer has devised an innovative bike-like machine to climb coconut trees. A video of the farmer using the machine was first shared by a Twitter user who goes by the name “Bade Chote”.
It went with the following humorous caption: “When you want to be a bike racer, but become a farmer due to parental pressure.”

Once the farmer presses the accelerator, the machine with a seat attached to it moves upward. Similar to reverse gears in regular cars, the machine also slides down gradually, when operated properly.
The innovation blew the minds of Twitter users who could not stop praising the farmer’s intelligence and application skills.

The life of coconut plantation farmers is fraught with risks and hardships. They do not have access to any tools or safety measures and depend completely on their own physical strength while scaling the trees.
