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.
