COMMON FARM EQUIPMENT

These are machineries used in crop production. They are used in land preparation and in
transporting farm inputs and products. These equipment need a highly skilled operator to use.

 Four wheel tractor is used to pull disc plow and disc harrow in preparing much
bigger area of land.
 Water pumps are used to draw irrigation water from a source.

 Grass cutter/lawn mower is a machine utilizing one or more revolving blades to
cut a grass surface to an even height.
 Rice seeder is used for sowing germinated paddy seed directly in wetland field.
