Prepare the Soil
Without farming tillers, it can be difficult and time-consuming to manually prepare large areas of land. So, you’ll want to attach heavy-duty implements to your tractor to break the soil, move it from high to low areas on your farm, and even level it. Ask our staff to show you the disks and plows in our collection. You’ll surely find a tool that matches your requirements.
Control Weeds
Weeds result in a loss of yield and reduce the quality and quantity of your harvest. Therefore, you must control the growth of weeds, including uprooting, chopping, and burying the weed seeds, on your farm. There are several primary and secondary implements that you can use to get these jobs done. They include a plow, rotary spades and tillers, and moldboard plows to efficiently uproot and bury weeds.
Prepare Seedbeds
Regardless of whether you’re preparing a flatbed, raised bed, or sunken bed, you’ll want to use appropriate tools to prepare the seedbeds on your farm. Seedbed preparation is done to retain the maximum amount of soil moisture and improve seed-to-soil contact. To complete this chore, you’ll need handy agricultural tools, such as plows, disks, and chisels, as well as roller harrows and culti-packers, to prepare and smooth out the seedbed.
Manage Crop Residue
Residues of common crops help in maintaining soil moisture and reducing erosion. This makes it important to manage residue and distribute it in the right amount throughout your farm. To do this, you may want to use special machines that help preserve residue from previous crops while new seeds are put into the ground. These tools are narrow and leave the soil surface undisturbed to let the residue improve the soil’s organic matter.
We hope this guide helps you in identifying the chores on your farm that you may need help with so you can pick the agricultural implements that will best work for you.
