Twin V
Twin V-belt drive mechanism connecting the engine of the mech-buffalo to its wheels.

From about the start of the 21st century water buffalo, Thailand's traditional farm tractors, have been largely replaced by simple, inexpensive, and functional, two-wheel diesel tractors [which Ray calls the mech-buffalo].

This innovation has considerably eased the workload of the rice farmer, but there are concerns that the soil is suffering from  the reduction in buffalo dung available to provide nature fertilizer to the rice fields.
