Broadcast Seeders or spreaders

- is a farm implement commonly used for spreading seed, lime, fertilizer, sand, ice melt, etc., and is an alternative to drop spreaders/seeders.

Roller

Pickaxe or pick

- is a hand tool with a hard head attached perpendicular to the handle. The head is usually made of metal, and the handle is most commonly wood, metal or fiberglass.

- is an agricultural tool used for flattening land or breaking up large clumps of soil, especially after ploughing.Flatter land makes subsequent weed control and harvesting easier, and rolling can help to reduce moisture loss from cultivated soil. On grassland, rolling levels the land for mowing and compacts the soil surface.

Destoner

- is a machine that removes stones and clods from soil ridges and moves them to the furrow so that the ridges are free from stones. This also helps when harvesting in wet conditions as the harvester can drive on a row of stones which helps improve traction.They remove stone using a series of webs (between two and five webs). The stones stay on the web and the clay falls through it. The stones travel through the machine and the bigger stones fall into a boulder box and the smaller stones fall onto a cross conveyor and in turn fall into a trench. On the next pass the tractor tramps these stones down.

Spade

- is a tool designed primarily for the purpose of digging or removing earth and spreading the soil. Early spades were made of riven wood. After the art of metalworking was discovered, spades were made with sharper tips of metal. Before the introduction of metal spades manual labor was less efficient at moving earth, with picks being required to break up the soil in addition to a spade for moving the dirt. With a metal tip, a spade can both break and move the earth in most situations, increasing efficiency.

Garden fork

- is a gardening implement, with a handle and several (usually four) short, sturdy tines. It is used for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in gardening and farming. It is used similarly to a spade, but in many circumstances it is more appropriate than a spade: the tines allow the implement to be pushed more easily into the ground, it can rake out stones and weeds and break up clods, it is not so easily stopped by stones, and it does not cut through weed roots or root-crops. Garden forks were originally made of wood, but the majority are now made of carbon steel orstainless steel.

Rake

- is a broom for outside use; a horticultural implement consisting of a toothed bar fixed transversely to a handle, and used to collect leaves, hay, grass, etc., and, in gardening, for loosening the soil, light weeding and levelling, removing dead grass from lawns, and generally for purposes performed in agriculture by the harrow.

Cultivator

- is any of several types of farm implement used for secondary tillage. Cultivators stir and pulverize the soil, either before planting (to aerate the soil and prepare a smooth, loose seedbed) or after the crop has begun growing (to kill weeds--controlled disturbance of the topsoil close to the crop plants kills the surrounding weeds by uprooting them,etc.).

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 mechanised.

Cultipacker

- is a piece of agricultural equipment that crushes dirt clods, removes air pockets, and presses down small stones, forming a smooth, firm seedbed. Where seed has been broadcast, the roller gently firms the soil around the seeds, ensuring shallow seed placement and excellent seed-to-soil contact. The cultipacker differs from the field roller in that it is made up of many sections that form peaks and valleys in the soil where packer has been used.

Subsoiler or mole plough

Stone picker or rock picker

- is a tractor mounted implement used to loosen and break up soil at depths below the level of a traditional disk harrow or rototiller. The subsoiler is a tillage tool which will improve growth in all crops where soil compaction is a problem. The design provides deep tillage, loosening soil deeper than a tiller or plough is capable of reaching.

-is an implement to remove the top layer of soil to separate and collect rocks and soil debris from good topsoil. It is usually tractor-pulled. Stone pickers are used in farming and landscaping, where stones need to be removed from the soil and ground surface to prevent damage to other farm machinery improve the soil for crop production, or improve the appearance of the ground surface in preparation for a lawn or a golf course.

Plow or Plough

Mattock

-the most important agricultural implement since the beginning of history, used to turn and break up soil, to bury crop residues, and to help control weeds. A plow is used to turn over stubble or a pasture to expose the soil underneath. This allows for further tilling like discing, harrowing and cultivating, to prepare the soil for seeding crops.

-it is a versatile hand tool, used for digging and chopping, similar to the pickaxe. It has a long handle, and a stout head, which combines an axe blade and an adze (cutter mattock) or a pick and an adze (pick mattock). A mattock is used for chopping, digging and uprooting shrubs and small trees. The sharp end is usually used for cutting the roots, while the end with flat blade is used to dig into the soil when planting.

Harrow

- is an implement for breaking up and smoothing out the surface of the soil. In this way it is distinct in its effect from the plough, which is used for deeper tillage. Harrowing is often carried out on fields to follow the rough finish left by ploughing operations. The purpose of this harrowing is generally to break up clods (lumps of soil) and to provide a finer finish, a good tilth or soil structure that is suitable for seedbed use.

Trowel

-it is one of several similar hand tools used for digging, smoothing, or otherwise moving around small amounts of viscous or particulate material.In gardening,trowel is used both to fill a plant pot with earth from a weeded patch, and to plant a tree seed into that plant pot to begin the process of growing a tree.

Shovel

-it is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk materials, suchas soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, or ore. Shovels are common tools that are used extensively in agriculture, construction, and gardening.Most shovels are hand tools consisting of a broad blade fixed to a medium-length handle. Shovel blades are usually made of sheet steel or hard plastics and are very strong. Shovel handles are usually made of wood (especially specific varieties such as ash or maple) or glass-reinforced plastic (fibreglass).

Scythe -it is an agricultural implement

traditionally used to cut grass, grains, reeds, and sedges. The scythe has largely been replaced by tractors and other mechanized farming devices which can accomplish cutting and harvesting tasks much more quickly and with much less physical labor.

Hoe

-is an ancient and versatile agricultural tool used to move small amounts of soil. Common goals include weed control by agitating the surface of the soil around plants, piling soil around the base of plants (hilling), creating narrow furrows (drills) and shallow trenches for planting seeds and bulbs, to chop weeds, roots and crop residues, and even to dig or move soil, such as when harvesting root crops like potatoes.
