🍅 Common Farm Equipment 🍅
These are machineries used in crop production. They are used in
land preparation and in transporting farm inputs and products. These
equipment need a highly skilled operator to use.
Hand tractor is used to pull a plow and harrow in preparing a large
area of land.
Four wheel tractor is used to pull disc plow and disc harrow in
preparing much bigger area of land.
