 History of the Machines
The Industrial Revolution
•The entire history of agriculture contains many examples of the use of
tools, such as the hoe and the plough
• But the ongoing integration of machines since the Industrial
revolution has allowed farming to become much less labour-intensive
•With the coming of the Industrial revolution  and the development of
more complicated machines, farming methods took a great leap
forward.
• Instead of harvesting grain by hand with a sharp
blade, wheeled machines cut a continuous swath.
•Instead of threshing the grain by beating it with sticks, threshing
machines separated the seeds from the heads and stalks. The first
tractors appeared in the late 19th century
 Mechanised agriculture
• Mechanised agriculture is the process of
using agricultural machinery to mechanise the
work of agriculture, greatly increasing farm
worker productivity. In modern times,
powered machinery has replaced many farm
jobs formerly carried out by manual labour or
by working animals such
as oxen, horses and mules.
• Agricultural machinery is machinery used
in farming or other agriculture. There
are many types of such equipment, from hand
tools and power tools to tractors and the
countless kinds equipments
 APPLICATIONS OF AUTOMOBILE IN
AGRICULTURE
• Current mechanised agriculture includes the
use of tractors, trucks, combine harvesters,
countless types of farm implements,
aeroplanes and helicopters (for aerial
application), and other vehicles. 
• Precision agriculture even uses computers in
conjunction with satellite imagery and satellite
navigation (GPS guidance) to increase yields.
 HARVESTER
• The combine harvester is a
machine that
harvests grain crops. The name
derives from its combining three
separate operations comprising
harvesting—reaping, threshing,
and winnowing—into a single
process.
• Combine harvesters are one of
 cotton harvester at work in a cotton field.
the most economically important
labour saving inventions
 TRACTOR

•The most common use of the term "tractor" is

for the vehicles used on farms.
• The farm tractor is used for pulling or
pushing agricultural machinery for ploughing,
tilling, disking, harrowing, planting, and similar
tasks.
• A 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.
• Several tractor companies have
also been working on producing
a driverless tractor
