    1. Tractors are versatile machines that pull farm equipment and can be outfitted with attachments for various farming tasks. 2. Combines, also called harvesters, efficiently harvest crops like grains using gears, blades and other mechanisms to separate crops from plants. 3. All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or utility task vehicles (UTVs) can access rough terrain and pull attachments like trailers, spreaders and mowers to assist with various farm jobs.

    Find at least 10 examples of Agricultural processing and handling equipment


    including its functions.:
    1. TRACTORS - The primary purpose of a tractor is to pull farm equipment, but modern
    tractors can be outfitted with a variety of attachments to suit just about any farming need. For
    this reason, tractors are common-sense purchases for small and large-scale farmers alike.

    2. COMBINE OR HARVESTER – it helps to harvest their crops efficiently. Even small-scale grain
    farmers can benefit greatly by using a combine. These massive pieces of machinery use a
    complex system of gears, blades, belts and wheels to turn cereal crops into grain.

    3. ATV OR UTV - These smaller vehicles can move across rough terrain more effectively than
    most road vehicles and more quickly than a typical tractor. Additionally, several types of
    attachments will work for these vehicles, including small trailers, spreaders and mowers

    4. TRACTOR ATTACHMENTS- Tractor attachments are attached to tractors or pulled behind


    them to add a new level of functionality. Their uses range widely from soil management to
    seeding. The different types of farm machinery attachments are detailed below.
    5. Plow (tractor Attachment) -A plow is a large tractor attachment that drags behind the tractor,
    using long blades to cut furrows in the soil. This process not only loosens and turns the soil, but
    it also helps kill off any surface vegetation that is not intended to be there

    6.Harrows (Tractor Attachment) - Where plowing primes the soil, harrowing further agitates it in
    preparation for agricultural work. These attachments break down clumps of soil, make the soil
    surface level and redistribute crop and weed residue to make it easier for new plants to take root
    and grow. 

    7. Fertilizer Spreader (Tractor Attachment) - Fertilizer spreaders function as the name suggests
    — they spread fertilizer across a field. While there are fertilizer spreaders that can be run
    separately, most farming operations require a tractor-run fertilizer spreader for quick, evenly
    distributed fertilization.

    8. Seeders (Tractor Attachment) - Seeders, as the name would suggest, are designed to spread
    seeds across large plots of land quickly and efficiently. While small farms may use small
    mechanical seeders or even hand-seeding methods, tractor-pulled seeders are most commonly
    used in large-scale farms today.

    9. Balers. (Tractor Attachment) - Balers are essential for hay, straw and corn stalk collection.
    These tractor attachments collect these materials and wrap them into more easily manageable
    bales. 

    10. Wagons or Trailers (Tractor Attachment) - Farm wagons and trailers are a necessity for any
    operation. Wagons and trailers are available in a wide range of sizes and materials, and they may
    be used for a range of purposes, including the following: Harvesting, Material Handling, Human
    Resources, Equipment Transportation.
