Tractor and power

Tractor / Two-wheel tractor Tracked tractor / Caterpillar tractor

Soil cultivation

Cultipacker Cultivator (of two main variations) Dragged teeth (also called shanks) that pierce the soil. Rotary motion of disks or teeth. Examples are: Power tiller / Rotary tiller / Rototiller / Bedtiller / Mulch tiller / Rotavator Harrow (e.g. Spike harrow, Drag harrow, Disk harrow) Land imprinter Plow or plough (various specialized types) Roller

Stone / Rock / Debris removal implement (e.g. Destoner, Rock windrower / rock rake, Stone picker / picker) Strip till toolbar (and a variation called Zone till subsoiler) Subsoiler Ridger Mole plough

Planting

Seed drill (box drill, air drill) Planter Potato planter Trowel Seed-counting machine

Fertilizers and pesticides dispenser

Liquid manure/slurry spreader and Liquid manure fertilizer spreader (e.g. slurry tanker or Terragator) Dry Manure spreader (e.g. Terragator) Sprayer

Irrigation

Drip irrigation/micro spray heads Sprinkler system Center pivot irrigation Hydroponics

Produce sorter

Blemish sorter Colour sorter Density sorter Diameter sorter Internal/taste sorter Shape sorter Weight sorter

Harvesting / post-harvest processing

Buckrake—for silage making Grain cart (with built in grain auger) Conveyor belt Cotton picker Farm truck Grain dryer Harvestor / harvester built for harvesting specific crops. (e.g. Bean harvester, Beet harvester, Carrot harvester, Combine (grain) harvester / Stripper, Header, Corn harvester, Forage or silage harvester, Grape harvester, Over-the-row mechanical harvester for harvesting apples, Potato harvester, Potato spinner/digger which is becoming obsolete, and Sugarcane harvester. Variations of harvesters are stripper cleaners and stripper loaders.

Multi crop Harvester Haulm topper Mechanical tree shaker and other orchard equipment Mower Rake Reaper-binder (now mostly replaced by the swather) Rice huller Swather (more common in the northern United States and Canada) Wagon (and variations of gravity wagons, trailers—e.g. silage trailers, grain hopper trailers and lighter, two-wheeled carts)

Hand harvesting

Flail Sickle (hand-held) Scythe Winnower (mechanized into the winnowing machine, which has been replaced by the combine harvester

Hay making

Bale lifter (also called Bale mover or Bale spike) Bale wrapper Baler Hay rake Hay tedder Loader wagon / self-loading wagon – used in Europe, but not common in USA Mower-conditioners

Hand hay tool Hay fork Wooden rake

Loading

Backhoe/backhoe loader Front end loader Skid-steer loader Telescopic handler Tractor-mounted forklift

Milking

Obsolete farm machinery

Steam-powered:

Portable engine Stationary steam engine Threshing machine (replaced by the combine harvester) Traction engine (e.g. Agricultural engine, Ploughing engine, Steam tractor)

Other:
