Different Types of Farm Equipment

• Several types of equipment are used on a farm
  that help farmers increase their efficiency, and
  in the installation and repair of various
  agricultural machines and hardware. This helps a
  farmer gain more control over all activities and

3 Main Types of Farm Equipment

• 1. Farm Equipment.

• Machines like tractors and small utility
  vehicles, known as Utes are used in the farm
  for planting and tilling purposes. Some of these
  include pulling implements to spread manure in
  the field, plant seeds, and till the soil. The
  power take-off (PTO) method is used to transfer
  the power from the tractors engine to different
  components of the attached implement. For
  example, the tractor transfers its engine power
  to the tines of the implement, which propels the
  manure outward and onto the soil.
• Farms measuring less than 60 acres can benefit
  from smaller machinery like Utes. They can be
  used to pull trailers among other farm
  activities.

• 2. Field Implements.

• Implements are machines that perform the tasks of
  tilling, planting seeds, plowing, spreading
  manure, etc. In this process, specific implements
  are used to till the soil. In this process, the
  soil is loosened to prepare it to accept seeds.
  As a result, weeds and other wild plants are also
  uprooted. Planting implements are used to sow
  seeds in the soil at pre-determined spaces.
  Different types of planters with varying
  capacities are used according to the type of crop
  being grown and the size of the field. A
  different set of implements are used to spread
  pesticides and fertilizer in the soil.

3. Fencing Equipment.

• Fencing equipment used to install and repair
  fences are essential on a farm. It is even more
  important for livestock farmers. For example,
  fence-post drivers are used to install posts,
  specific pliers are used to install and repair
  gates and fences. Tractors and utes can also be
  used for installation purposes.

• Many more types of equipment are used in farms.
  The equipment is used to streamline the various
  processes, as well as to reduce human effort as
  much as possible. Automating most farming
  activities has led to more productivity, and
  higher yields. This leads to more progress and
  growth of a country.
