Destoner
- is a machine that removes stones and clods from soil ridges andmoves them to the furrow so that the ridges are free from
stones. This also helps when harvesting in wet conditions as the
harvester can drive on a row of stones which helps improve
traction.They remove stone using a series of webs (between two
and five webs). The stones stay on the web and the clay falls
through it. The stones travel through the machine and the bigger
stones fall into a boulder box and the smaller stones fall onto a
cross conveyor and in turn fall into a trench. On the next pass the tractor tramps these stones down.
Roller- is an agricultural tool used for
flattening land or breaking up large
clumps of soil, especially
after ploughing. Flatter land makes
subsequent weed
control and harvesting easier, and
rolling can help to reduce moisture lossfrom cultivated soil. On grassland,
rolling levels the land for mowing and
compacts the soil surface.
Broadcast Seeders or spreaders- is a farm implement commonly used
for spreading seed, lime, fertilizer,
sand, ice melt, etc., and is an
alternative to drop spreaders/seeders.
Spade- is a tool designed primarily for the purpose of digging or
removing earth and spreading the soil. Early spades were made of
riven wood. After the art of metalworking was discovered, spades
were made with sharper tips of metal. Before the introduction of
metal spades manual labor was less efficient at moving earth, withpicks being required to break up the soil in addition to a spade
for moving the dirt. With a metal tip, a spade can both break and
move the earth in most situations, increasing efficiency.
Garden fork- is a gardening implement, with a handle and several (usually four)
short, sturdy tines. It is used for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in gardening and farming. It is used similarly to a spade,
but in many circumstances it is more appropriate than a spade:
the tines allow the implement to be pushed more easily into the
ground, it can rake out stones and weeds and break up clods, it is
not so easily stopped by stones, and it does not cut through
weed roots or root-crops. Garden forks were originally made of
wood, but the majority are now made of carbon steel orstainless
steel.
Pickaxe or pick- is a hand tool with a hard head
attached perpendicular to the handle.
The head is usually made of metal, and
the handle is most commonly wood,
metal or fiberglass.

Rake- is a broom for outside use;
a horticultural implement consisting of
a toothed bar fixed transversely to a
handle, and used to
collect leaves, hay, grass, etc., and,
in gardening , for loosening the soil,
light weeding and levelling, removing dead grass from lawns, and generally for
purposes performed in agriculture by
the harrow.
Tractoris an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a
high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the
purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery usedin agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term
is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power
and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially
(and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of
tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or
mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide
a source of power if the implement is mechanised.
Cultivator- is any of several types of farm
implement used for secondary tillage.
Cultivators stir and pulverize the soil,
either before planting (to aerate the
soil and prepare a smooth,
loose seedbed) or after the crop has
begun growing (to kill weeds--controlleddisturbance of the topsoil close to the
crop plants kills the surrounding weeds
by uprooting them,etc.).
Cultipacker- is a piece of agricultural equipment that
crushes dirt clods, removes air pockets, and
presses down small stones, forming a smooth,
firm seedbed. Where seed has been broadcast,
the roller gently firms the soil around the
seeds, ensuring shallow seed placement and
excellent seed-to-soil contact. The cultipackerdiffers from the field roller in that it is made
up of many sections that form peaks and
valleys in the soil where packer has been used.
Subsoiler or mole plough- is a tractor mounted implement used
to loosen and break up soil at depths
below the level of a traditional diskharrow or rototiller. The subsoiler is a
tillage tool which will improve growth in
all crops where soil compaction is a
problem. The design provides deep
tillage, loosening soil deeper than a
tiller or plough is capable of reaching.
Stone picker or rock picker-is an implement to remove the top layer
of soil to separate and collect rocks and
soil debris from good topsoil. It isusually tractor-pulled. Stone pickers are
used in farming and landscaping, where
stones need to be removed from the soil
and ground surface to prevent damage to
other farm machinery improve the soil for
crop production, or improve the
appearance of the ground surface in
preparation for a lawn or a golf course.

Plow or Plough-the most important agricultural
implement since the beginning of
history, used to turn and break up soil,
to bury crop residues, and to help
control weeds. A plow is used to turn
over stubble or a pasture to expose thesoil underneath. This allows for further
tilling like discing, harrowing and
cultivating, to prepare the soil for
seeding crops.
Harrow- is an implement for breaking up and
smoothing out the surface of the soil. In thisway it is distinct in its effect from the plough,
which is used for deeper tillage. Harrowing is
often carried out on fields to follow the
rough finish left by ploughing operations. The
purpose of this harrowing is generally to break
up clods (lumps of soil) and to provide a finer
finish, a good tilth or soil structure that is
suitable for seedbed use.
Mattock-it is a versatile hand tool, used for
digging and chopping, similar to
the pickaxe. It has a long handle, and a
stout head, which combines an axe blade
and an adze (cutter mattock) or a pick
and an adze (pick mattock). A mattock is
used for chopping, digging and uprooting shrubs and small trees. The sharp end is
usually used for cutting the roots, while
the end with flat blade is used to dig into
the soil when planting.
Shovel-it is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk
materials, suchas soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand,
or ore. Shovels are common tools that are
used extensively in agriculture, construction,
and gardening .Most shovels are hand
tools consisting of a broad blade fixed to amedium-length handle. Shovel blades are
usually made of sheet steel or hard plastics
and are very strong. Shovel handles are usually
made of wood (especially specific varieties
such as ash or maple) or glass-reinforced
plastic (fibreglass).
Trowel-it is one of several similar hand
tools used for digging, smoothing,or otherwise moving around small
amounts of viscous or particulate
material.In gardening,trowel is used
both to fill a plant pot with earth
from a weeded patch, and to plant
a tree seed into that plant pot to
begin the process of growing a tree.
Scythe
-it is an agricultural implement
traditionally used to cut grass,
grains, reeds, and sedges. The
scythe has largely been replaced by
tractors and other mechanized
farming devices which canaccomplish cutting and harvesting
tasks much more quickly and with
much less physical labor.
Hoe-is an ancient and versatile agricultural tool used to move
small amounts of soil. Common goals include weed
control by agitating the surface of the soil around plants,
piling soil around the base of plants (hilling), creating
narrow furrows (drills) and shallow trenches for
planting seeds and bulbs, to chop
weeds, roots and crop residues, and even to dig or move
soil, such as when harvesting root crops like potatoes.
