It is true that ‘a farmer’s work is
never done.’ His job is long, hard and tiring. He has to grow crops, control
weed, prevent livestock from ruining his work, and tackle the ruthless weather.
With so much on his plate, how can he manage all of it? Simple – with
implements.
A Farmer has an access to possibly
more than a hundred tools for farming. All of these tools serve specific
purpose and thus allow a farmer to maximize his efforts. Some of the tools he
has access to are following:
- Hay Balers
- Ridgers
- Diggers
- Harrowers
- Plows
- Watering implement
- Seeders
These are only to name a few. All of
these implements, like mentioned, have specific purposes so it is crucial for a
farmer to know what to use and where to use. Most of the implements are
intended as add-ons to a tractor. These tools are meant to be used on the field
and hence must not be used when driving on road.
But, where these tools solve an
issue, they do raise some concerns. Farm
implements must be kept in chains, or hitched because these implements are
heavy, sometimes weighing more than the weight of the vehicle itself. Leaving
implement unhitched can be unsafe. Also, the tractor must be powerful enough to
tow and support the implements. It must also have powerful brakes.
The saying still holds true for a
farmer, although evidently, his life has been eased to great extent.
