Lesson Title of the Lesson
1 CHECK FROM TOOL, MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT

What I Need to Know


Lesson1 : Support Horticultural Work
LO 1. Prepare materials, tools and equipment for horticultural production work

At the end of the lesson the student should be able to:


1.2. Check and identify farm tools, materials and equipment for faults and
defects based on manufacturer’s lists and pre-operating procedures

What’s In
After selecting farm tools, materials and equipment checking of these
implements are very essential.
Check – it is the term used to distinguished whether the tool, material and equipment
is functional or not.

What’s New
Imagine that the long, hot summer vacation has finally come to an end and
it‘s the beginning of the school year and you are ready to start working your vegetable
gardens. But before that let us check first our tools, implements and equipment you are
going to use. Armed with your working clothes and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Proceed to the shop to retrieve your tools so that you can start clearing away the last
remnants of summer and begin breaking the soil for a new year. Imagine your frustration as
you start pulling out all of your tools to see that they are covered with rust and dirt that has
hardened and crusty globs of oil that have collected dust last vacation. It seems that you
are going to spend more time cleaning and repairing tools on this nice day than you will
actually use them (https://gltnhs-tle.weebly.com/lesson-14.html).

What Is It
Information Sheet 1.1

Machinery breakdowns are always costly. But they are especially costly during
planting and harvests, when getting seed in the ground and grain out of the field in a timely
fashion are critical to maximizing yield.

1
Here's his Top list along with tips on how you can prevent these problems from
happening in the first place.

1. Not reading the operator's manual

Reading the operator's manual is important, because it tells you how to set the
machine and what parts to check before you take it to the field. However, it is one
step that many owners fail to do thoroughly.

The operator's manual also describes how to fix certain problems once they happen
so that owners can troubleshoot the problem themselves without having to take more
time to wait for a technician. However, many farmers may forget to check the
troubleshooting section, which can cost them even more time out of the field.

2. Improper maintenance

It is important to grease a machine properly and on a timely basis. “Sometimes


farmers or their employees will miss some grease or lube locations on a new
machine because they didn't go through all the lube locations the first time with the
owner's manual out when there's a breakdown due to no lubrication, that is part of
improper maintenance.”

Other maintenance mistakes are failing to oil chains, check gearboxes regularly, and
replace belts when they start to show excessive wear instead of waiting for them to
break. “Another big one under proper maintenance is to do a general inspection of
the machine at the beginning of the day, like checking engine and transmission oil
levels daily or making sure the wheels are straight and tight.

3. Poor electrical connections

“This is a big cause of breakdowns with today's newer machinery and is a hard one
for owners to try to prevent “But there are some small things they can do.” For
example, you can clean away dust and dirt in areas where connectors are located.
When cleaning, use compressed air instead of water to keep moisture away from the
wires.

4. Overrunning machine's capability

A lot of farmers run machines to maximum performance or at the top of the


engineering curve for which the machine was designed. “They just really run it hard
to about where it is ready to snort or puke out,”

Overrunning the machine puts a strain on all the drives and makes breakdowns
much more likely to occur. You should find where a machine's maximum
performance level is and then “pull it back a hair” so that you are not running it at
maximum constantly.
2

5. Not replacing worn parts when needed

Many times when a part on a machine breaks, farmers replace just the part that
broke or failed, but fail to check or replace other parts that may have caused the
initial failure. Examples include replacing a drive chain when the sprocket was shot or
replacing a belt when maybe the pulley was bad.

By replacing only the broken part, you will temporarily fix the problem but will likely
have another breakdown soon because you did not fix all the worn parts.

These additional parts are more expensive to fix. However you will save money by
spending a little more on parts up front because it will cut down on the number of
breakdowns later on.

6. Tightener Misalignment

Tighteners that are misaligned or at an angle and not tracking straight to the belt or
chain in relation to the main drives are another problem. This puts tension on the belt
or chain and can cause it to break or wear excessively. You need to watch for
misalignment and fix it, which may mean replacing worn bushings in the tightener
pivot that may be pushing the belt or chain sideways.

7. Improper storage

This problem applies especially to combines and planters. For example, often a
farmer will park the combine in the shed immediately after harvest and leave it there
until the following harvest. “The combine will have corn, dirt and chaff built up
alongside a lot of the electrical connections, or dust and debris sitting on chains,”
Gierach explains. “It is not the best way to be storing them.”

The problem is that debris will attract rodents, which will often nest inside or gnaw at
wires. The dust itself can interfere with electrical connections. He suggests cleaning
around all electrical connections and other places where debris is built up before
storing the machine. Using compressed air is usually the best way to do this.

8. Improper weather-related use

Sometimes farmers running machines in wet, muddy weather. That can put a strain
on the machines, especially combines, because they are not designed for it.
“Running real wet, tough material through the combine could break shafts or plug up
the machine and that puts a strain on everything from feeder house chains to shafts
to bearings and pulleys.”

Running tractors in poor weather conditions also can result in problems. “For
example, mud packed in between dual wheels, which can result in premature wear
on the tire sidewalls if you do not clean that out between the wheels before it
hardens.

What’s More

Garden tools are probably the most neglected of tools. We use them, abuse them,
and put them away dirty and wet only to see them rust and lose their effectiveness over time.
But with proper maintenance and a little time spent, your tools can last and be effective for
many years to come.

Proper Tool Storage

The best advice I can give you regarding garden tools is to put them away. Do not
leave them outside! Not only will proper storage keep unnecessary moisture away from your
tools, it will also protect your valuable tools from theft. Even when rain is not in your forecast,
tools left outside are exposed to moisture from wet grass and dew.

When storing your tools, keep them off the ground so they’re not exposed to moisture
on your garage or shed floor. Hanging racks like the one pictured are a convenient way to
hang several long-handled tools in one small area. They also help prevent damage to
sharpened edges. For smaller tools, try using a pegboard system to hang your tools. Not
only will it keep your tools off the ground, but it will help you with good tool organization. If
each tool has a space, it’s more likely that the tool will get put away after use. A
pegboardsystem also helps you identify if you have any missing tools. If a peg is empty, you
know to take another jog around the yard before calling it a night.

Clean and Dry Tools

Because most garden tools are exposed to dirt and moisture, this is the first place to
start when it comes time for tool maintenance. Cleaning and drying your garden tools will
keep them in good working order. For shovels, rakes and trowels that come in contact with
soil, wash the dirt off with the strong spray from your hose. If the dirt is caked on, keep a
brush nearby for a good scrubbing. Most importantly, dry your tools thoroughly before putting
them away. I installed a hook in my garage near my garden tools so I could keep an old
towel handy for drying.You’ll also want to be sure to wipe down smaller tools, like pruners
and shears, before putting them away. This will help you remove any moisture, as well as
sap, from the blades. Turpentine is an effective solvent for removing stubborn sap.
Remember, be careful as you wipe the blades as they are very sharp. And once again, be
sure to properly dry your tool before storing

Prevent Rust

While proper storing, cleaning and drying are important to the


condition of your tool, it’s still important to prevent rust. The most
effective way to prevent rust is to provide some type of protective
coating to the surface. Given the high cost of quality garden tools,
it’s important to take this step to ensure many productive hours in
the garden. You can use Boeshield T-9, a convenient aerosol
spray or Bull Frog Rust Blocker which is non-polluting and
biodegradable.

General Tool Maintenance

Some general maintenance is also handy for keeping your garden tools in good
shape. There are several tips we recommend: First, for wood-handled tools, sand the
handle if it becomes rough. This will help prevent splinters. And for all wood-handled tools,
apply a light coating of boiled linseed oil to help prevent the wood from drying out and
cracking.

Second, you will want to apply some type of lubricant like Boeshield T-9 to your pruners,

READY TO PRINT
loppers, and similar tools. This will ensure smooth operation of moving parts and will also
help prevent rust from forming.

Third remove rust that has already


formed. Because many of us have not
practiced proper tool maintenance, we’re
probably facing a garage full of rusty
tools. If that’s the case for you, do not
worry, there is still hope. There are
several types of rust removal products
available. Evapo-Rust is a safe and easy-
to use on items that can be soaked. Bull
Frog Rust Remover is an organic, non-
toxic gel that also protects the tool against
future rust formation. It works particularly
well in household applications as it does
not contain any harsh chemicals or emit strong odors.

Keep Your Tools Sharp

Another key to garden tool maintenance is keeping your tools sharp. Sharp tools not
only are more effective, but they reduce your frustration. A sharp pruner will cut through a
branch with ease, and a sharp shovel will dig into hard clay soils. Sharpening garden tools
requires just a two simple tools, a mill file and a small handheld sharpener.

The bigger tools like shovels, spades and hoes only require the use of a mill file. Mill
files are available in bastard, second, and smooth cut. The bastard cut is the most
aggressive while the smooth cut leaves the finest finish. Each cut is available in different
sizes. Because larger files are cut coarser, we recommend a 10” second cut or an 8” bastard
cut for garden tools. Another vital piece of a file is the handle. These are sold separately but
make the sharpening process much easier and safer.

Before you use the file, secure your tool so you do not have to
chase it around while you are trying to sharpen it. Once secured,
find the angle where the tool was previously sharpened. Now use
your mill file held at that angle and push the tool across the edge.
Do not push the file back and forth on the tool! Files were meant to
cut on the push stroke, and pulling will only serve to dull the file.
Continue this process until the entire edge of your tool is
sharpened. You will know it is sharpened when the entire edge
looks like bright, shiny metal.
5

The smaller tools like pruners, loppers, and shears require a keener edge to perform
their duties, so we recommend a small diamond stone for sharpening. If you sharpen a
variety of garden tools, we have found that the DMT Double Sided Diafold works effectively.
With a coarse and a fine grit, it will quickly sharpen dull tools on the coarse side, and put a
nicely honed edge on the tool on the fine side. If you sharpen mostly pruners and loppers,
another alternative is the DMT Mini-Hone. These are small enough to sharpen pruners and
loppers while the blade is still in the tool.

Sharpening using a diamond stone is much like a file. Secure the blade of your tool;
a small vise works well if you have one. Next find the angle where your tool was previously
sharpened. If you have trouble finding the angle try this trick: Use a permanent marker and
apply the marker to the blade edge. Rub your stone across the edge at your selected angle.
If you removed the marker behind the blade edge, you need to sharpen at a steeper angle, if
you only removed the marker from the front edge you need to reduce the angle. Once you’ve
found a good angle just rub the diamond stone back and forth with your coarse side until all
your edge is uniformly sharp. Now switch to your fine side and sharpen using the same
angle. Your edge is now ready for use. If you feel the edge starting to get dull again, you can
skip the coarse grit and just use a few strokes with the fine stone to keep your tool in
excellent shape.

Even tools that have been neglected can be nursed back into shape. Proper storage,
cleaning and drying, general maintenance, and sharpening will result in more effective tools
and more productive time in the garden.

Cleaning Your Garden Tools

You want your tools to stay clean and looking good. Regular cleaning and
maintenance will keep your tools sharp. It may also make them rust quicker. So what you’ll
want to do is clean excess dirt and rust off of them with water. It helps to dry and oil your
tools after use to keep them in good condition. Scrape and wipe off extra stubborn dirt and
rust. Cleaning your tools can be done with an old towel. You can also clean off some dirt
after use (if they don’t need a thorough cleaning) by wiping them through and on grass. If
your tools are in really bad shape just drying them will not be adequate. If the hinges on your
tools are squeaking then bolts should be tightened and a lubricant applied.

Storing Your Garden Tools

You’ll want to store your tools properly to keep them safe from harm, theft, rusting,
and other things. If you uncaringly toss your tools to the side when you’re done with them,
there’s a possibility of breaking or losing them. So what you want to do is have a specific
safe and dry place to store your tools, such as a barn, basement, or garden shed. Keep your
tools organized so you can easily access each one when you need it. When you’re done
with the tool, clean it off and put it back where it was. If you leave your tools outside they will
not last long. Tools should always be kept in a safe secure place. Put them in a place where
you know they are, and only you have access to them. Garden sheds have some great
storage systems and are probably the best way to store your tools.

Sharpening Dull Garden Tools

Dull tools don’t work as well as they should. Gardening tools can be quiet dangerous
if they are not looked after. They can make bad or dull cuts, or not make cuts at all. If you
have a dull tool, you don’t have to buy another one. You just need to sharpen them. Always
make sure your tools are clean before you sharpen them. This will help them sharpen better
and it will keep your tools for sharpening safe from dirt and rust as well. You can use
sharpening blocks a stones or a file to sharpen most tools. You can also sharp knifes and
scissors with a file. You can use a file or sharpening stone for sharpening your hoe. You can
also use sharpening stones or metal files for sharpening things such as shovels and
rakes. Use a file to sharpen your hedge or pruning shears.
