II. Background Information for Learners

The best way to prolong the useful life of farm tools, implement
and equipment are through routine check-ups. If farm tools are well
maintained, farmers can save time and effort at work and resulting
an efficient farm operation.
To maintain the working or moving parts of farm tools,
implements and equipment, it is necessary to clean and apply oil or
lubricate to these moving parts. Sharpen the edge by maintaining the
factory bevel or angle of cutting tools and keep it in a safe place are
also some ways to preserve these farm tools. Remember that taking
extra care of farm tools, implements and equipment will avoid
unexpected breakdown while at work and the replacement of
expensive parts.
