Soon came the evolution of the "self-emptying bucket", known in India as a "mohte". This commonly has a bucket made of leather, galvanized iron sheets, or rubber, and with a hole in its bottom which is held closed by a flap which is pulled tight by a second rope harnessed to the animals. The device consists of a bucket having a capacity of 180 -225 litres. The bucket is fixed on a stout iron ring with an iron framework at the top. It is attached to one end of a long strong rope. A pair of bullocks (castrated bulls) are hitched to the other end of the rope which provide the power to lift the bucket. The bullocks, while pulling up the full bucket, walk down an earthen ramp sloped at an angle of 5 -10 degrees, thereby obtaining some advantage of their weight in exerting the necessary force to lift the bucket. to lift the bucket. Two men are needed to operate one
