Answer» Answer: - Just LOOKING at hand operated tools, and leaving off tractors, harvesters, and machine sprayers, here are some examples.
- Hoes are a tool with a handle and flat perpendicular blade attached on the end. It is USED for chopping out weeds, opening furrows, and moving dirt to the plant’s roots.
- Shovels are handle tools used for digging or moving soil manually.
- Bow rakes are handle tools used to clear debris or gather compost.
- Pitch forks are handle tools used to scoop up loose material like hay or straw.
- Scythe are handle tools with a long, curved blade which is drawn through ripe grain to cut the stalks for hand harvesting.
- Push PLOW are two handled implements that have a wheel and plow on the front that is pushed down rows to cultivate crops.
- Garden sprayers are containers withe a hand pump to pressurize them for spraying insecticides and herbicides on gardens.
- Potato rakes look like hoes, but with a ROW of pitchfork like tangs for dragging potatoes out of the soil after they’ve been plowed.
- Water hose sprayers. water hoses, and watering cans are used for hand watering plants.
- Plant snips, lopping shears, and straight shears are used for pruning or cutting plants or their limbs.
These are a few common hand tools used in farming (usually on a small scale). Most modern agriculture have powered machines for these tasks, diesel tractors and combines, multirow planters and cultivators, tillers, and sprayers. The list would be hard to create, especially considering different cultures use different types of equipment and tools, and have different names for them. Hope this will help you.. good DAY bye❤
