What is Agricultural
Machinery?
• Agricultural machinery, also
known as agricultural tech, is an
essential tool for improving
agricultural production. It helps
farmers to grow more crops in less
time and with greater efficiency. It
can include anything from tractors
and harvesters to animal feed
mixers or field-wide weed
removers.

Different types of Tractor
Attachments for Farming
Operations
BACKHOE
• A backhoe attachment is useful
for landscaping and farming. It
is also beneficial for moving
heavy stone, digging out
stumps, hauling hay,
excavating, and more. You can
use this attachment to dig large
holes where you can put anchor
posts.

BULLDOZER
• A bulldozer is known as a powerful
demolition and pushing tool in
construction and mining projects. Its
main use is earth moving. When
attached to a tractor, a front dozer is
useful for pushing large quantities of
soil, sand, and other ground materials
on your farm. It is also beneficial in
removing trees, stumps, and boulders.

FURROWER
• A furrow is a trench that is made on the
soil surface. This is usually where seeds
and fertilizer are placed before it is closed
up. Aside from making a tidier and
symmetrical appearance, it makes weeding
easier. It also provides enough room and
space for plants to grow. Some crops that
are planted in furrows are corn and
lettuce.
Harvester Attachment
Harvesting crops manually can be time-
consuming and labor-intensive. You will
need to hire numerous people just to
finish hectares of land. By using a
harvesting attachment, you can
harvest crops at the right time, so you
can sow the next crop with no delay. It
also reduces the labor involved in the
process.

Planter
• A planter is a farm implement that is
usually towed behind a tractor. It is
found on farms that grow grain and
forage-type crops. Its function is to
sow seeds of proper row width into
soil for creating evenly spaced crop
rows and metered seed gaps.
Trailer
• Trailers are necessary for farm
operations. These are primarily
used to move hay, harvested goods,
fertilizers, feed, and small
equipment from one location to
another. You can choose from a
wide range of sizes and materials.

Bedformer
• Bed forming is needed for building
well-drained, and protected areas
where you can grow your crops.
When it is used, it divides the field
into two. The first is the bed or the
raised portion where you can plant the
crops. The other is the lateral tracks,
which are needed for the downflow of
water.

PLOW
• A plow is a large tractor attachment
that drags behind the tractor, using
long blades to cut furrows in the soil.
This process not only loosens and
turns the soil, but it also helps kill off
any surface vegetation that is not
intended to be there. While the soil
has to go through several subsequent
steps to be ready for planting,
plowing is an essential first step.
