NAMES OF DIFFERENT FARM EQUIPMENTS

1. TRACTOR

A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive


effort(or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used
in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that
provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and
originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed
behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the
implement is merchandised.
2. ATV /UTV

ATVs are motorized vehicles that are meant to be used off-road or on dirt roads,
not on paved roads or highways. They usually have four large balloon-style tires,
with a seat in the middle that a rider straddles while steering by the handlebars.

3. FRONT-END LOADER

A loader is a type of tractor, usually wheeled, sometimes on tracks, that has a front-mounted
square wide bucket connected to the end of two booms (arms) to scoop up loose material from
the ground, such as dirt, sand or gravel, and move it from one place to another without pushing
the material across the ground.

4. WAGON

A wagon is a strong vehicle with four wheels, usually pulled by horses or oxen and used for
carrying heavy loads. A wagon is a large container on wheels which is pulled by a train.

5. SEED DRILLS

A seed drill is a sowing device that sows the seed precisely in the soil at proper depth and
distance. Then it covers them with soil. It protects the seeds from birds and saves time and
labor.
NAMES OF DIFFERENT FARM EQUIPMENTS

1. CULTIVATOR

Cultivators are used for—you probably already guessed this—soil cultivation. In particular,
cultivators are used for weed control before planting into a bed, as well as incorporating crop or
weed residues and preparing a seed bed. Cultivator tines can be properly spaced to be used in a
garden bed or crop field after plants are growing to remove the weeds from around the plants. It
takes someone with a steady hand to drive the tractor in a straight line and not hit the vegetable
plants with the cultivator.
2. CULTIPACKER

Cultipackers are pulled behind tractors to firm seedbeds before seeding to set up your planting for
good seed-to-soil contact. Following up broadcast seeding with a pass with the cultipacker will press
the seeds into the soil.

3. HARROW

Harrows are pulled behind a tractor or ATV to level the soil surface, redistribute crop residue
and disturb weed germination. You can attach a harrow to another implement that’s attached to
your tractor to save time and expenses by making fewer passes through your field. Harrows are
also handy for breaking up manure in the pasture and smoothing out riding-ring surfaces.
4. RAKES

Rakes are necessary pieces of farm equipment if you make hay. Wheel rakes, parallel-bar rakes,
rotary rakes and belt rakes are pulled behind a tractor, and each have advantages and
disadvantages, depending on the quality of the hay-cutting job, the moisture content of the hay
and the equipment-storage area available to you.

5. COMBINE OR HARVESTER

Grain farmers find they need a combine (also called a harvester) for their crops. Even with just
an acre of grain crop, a combine is the most efficient means of getting it out of the field.
