Straddler or Broco'lit: which one should I choose?

Two machines, two ways of working

The Romanesco Straddler is a modular tool carrier: it straddles the bed and carries implements for transplanting, weeding, hoeing, mulch laying and handling. It is the farm's all-rounder, used all year round.

The Broco'lit is a grower's side-car: lighter and faster, it carries one or two people lying above the bed and moves crates around at 15 km/h. It is well suited to farms with scattered plots.
