In modern times, farmers who are doing heavy work on farms using traditional and old agricultural tools are wasting their health and time.

Some of the essential and most used machinery are Combine or Combine Harvester, Rotavator or Rotary Tiller, Plough or Plow, Tractor Trailer, Power Harrow, Leveler, water bowser, ripper machine, and disc harrow.
Plough
Plough, a primary tillage equipment works as a tractor implement attached with a tractor and helps in tilling the land efficiently. This remarkable piece of agricultural machinery is used for preparing the land in the planting season. Either it’s about turning an all new land into a farm or just preparing an existing farm to sow seeds, various types of plough (mould-board plough, reversible plough, disc plough) allow farmers to turn the soil into a nutrient rich seedbed for better plant growth.
Combine Harvester
Bigger in size, a Combine works like a comb cutter for cutting the mature crops with threshing at the same time. A combine is one of the most upgraded machinery that helps farmers by saving long hours of the day wasting in harvesting activities. The multi-crop combine harvester is designed in such a way that it is compatible for harvesting multiple grain crops such as wheat, corn, barley, grain sorghum, soybeans, oats, sunflower, rice. A modern multi-crop harvester makes harvesting faster so that the fields can be open for the next crop in a minimum period of time, and the probability of production increases within the period.
Rotavator or Rotary Tiller

Rotary tillers are quite popular among farmers to make the preparation of seedbeds in the farms. The equipment is mainly used for breaking soil in lawns, farms, gardens, etc. The use of rotary tillers has significantly increased in agricultural operations because of its simple built and high-end efficiency as a tillage implement.

This tillage equipment is also used in the secondary tillage process as it helps in breaking up lumps of the soil easily, efficiently and faster to give it a rich finish when it comes to prepare a final seedbed. It also allows farmers to control weeds around the plants once the crop is planted and grown.
