Machines make very difficult tasks much easier. The case is not different for crop farm machines and tools. Crop farm machines and tools are used to make farm activities easier from land preparation, through planting to harvesting and even sorting of produce.
Modern farmers have a wide range of equipment options for the various activities they do on an annual basis. From high-tech combined harvesters to simple tractors, the various kinds of farm equipment available can meet the needs of small-scale homesteaders and industrial-size farming operations alike. However, it can be difficult to keep track of all the options. Here are some farm machines and what they do.
Tractors
Tractors have two large wheels in the back, and smaller wheels in front and it comes in a range of sizes to fit any farming operation. The primary purpose of a tractor is preparing the soil for planting and collecting the harvest, but modern tractors can be outfitted with a variety of attachments to suit just about any farming need. For this reason, tractors are common-sense purchases for small and large-scale farmers alike.
Combine Harvester
Harvesters or combine harvesters help harvest crops efficiently. Even small-scale grain farmers can benefit greatly by using a combine. These massive pieces of machinery use a complex system of gears, blades, belts and wheels to turn cereal crops into the grain. Combines accomplish this through three primary processes: weaning, threshing & winnowing
Seeders
Seeders, as the name would suggest, are designed to spread seeds across large plots of land quickly and efficiently. While small farms may use small mechanical seeders or even hand-seeding methods, tractor-pulled seeders are most commonly used in large-scale farms today. There are different machines used in agriculture seeding such as the following: Broadcast seeders, Air seeders, Box drill seeders & Planters
Balers
Balers are crucial for hay, straw and corn stalk collection. These tractor attachments collect these materials and wrap them into more easily manageable bales. There are three general kinds of hay balers: Round balers, Square balers & Large Square Balers.
