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.
 Hand tractor is used to pull a plow and harrow in preparing a large area of land.
 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.
 Thresher is a farm machine used to separate wheat, peas, soybeans, and other
small grain and seed crops from their chaff and straw.
