Common Farm Equipment
Farming today uses many machines to make work faster and easier. Some common equipment includes:
- Chisel Plow – Used to dig and prepare the soil for planting.
- Combine – Used to harvest and clean crops like wheat.
- Row Planter – Plants seeds in rows, pulled by a tractor.
- Seed Drill – Plants seeds and covers them with soil.
- Sprayer – Spreads chemicals and water over crops.
- Tractor – The main machine that pulls other equipment around the farm.
Because these machines are large and move fast, accidents can happen, causing serious injuries.
