Loader: The loader is one of the most commonly attached implements to a tractor. It can perform a variety of tasks on a farm or homestead.
Harrow: The harrow breaks up lumps in the soil and provides a finer soil structure suitable for sowing seeds.
Cultivator: A cultivator is a basic tool used in plowing the field using a tractor.
Plow: A plow is a tractor-drawn piece of equipment that turns the soil and makes it a little damp to prepare it for the next crop cultivation. There are five types of plows used for farming: moldboard plough, disc plough, ridge plough, chisel plough, and subsoil plough.
