Look at this image, what appears in your mind? I believe most
people might think this is just a Ford 5000 tractor. You are
partially correct but it is not mainly used for agriculture in
Malaysia. This is called a “Back Pusher Tractor”.
Have you ever heard of a “Back Pusher Tractor” before? If you are not
living in Malaysia, the term “Back Pusher Tractor” might seem alien to
you.
A Back Pusher is actually a Ford 5000 tractor, which is
assembled with the bucket and would work in reverse gear. It is
mainly designed for pushing use in tin mines in the 1960s. This
idea was brainstormed by a man who was working as miner at Malim
Nawar, Perak. Perak is a state in Malaysia, where there are
substantial resources of tin deposits.
The Invention of the Back Pusher totally changed the tin mining
industry, it was at least a hundred times more productive than
artificially pushing tin. It helped save the amount of time
compared to traditional methods and tremendously increased the
amount of tin mined.
In the 1990s, the mining industry was in a steady decline. The
construction industry however, was on the rise in Malaysia. The
Back Pusher proved to be a very good tool in all construction
work sites. It was used to push large quantities of soil, sand,
rubble and gravel. Although it has less power than the
bulldozer, rental fees and the spare parts of the Back Pusher
are much cheaper than the bulldozer. As a result, the Back
Pusher plays an important role in the construction industry in
Malaysia.
