1. Manure spreader
   Manure harvester
2. Silage truck
   Sewage dump

There are a lot of different terms for manure spreaders, but all of them do the same job: spread manure to fertilize the fields. They are necessary for most planting farmers, even if the farm doesn't have one on hand, they will rent them.

1. Seed mill
   Seed drill
2. Seed presser
   Seed cropper

There are many ways to plant seeds on a farm, but for some farmers, the seed drill is a necessary tool. It presses the seeds into the ground, planting them at the perfect depth. This saves farmers time and money, because the seeds aren't eaten or blown away.

1. Spray irrigation
   Drip irrigation
2. Balanced irrigation
   Grid irrigation

A drip irrigation system helps farmers save money while watering their crops on hot, dry days. Instead of spraying water all over the plants, they simply drip the water onto the plants slowly. This saves money in water costs and helps farmers avoid evaporation.

1. Roto picker
   Nit picker
2. Flip sticker
   Stone picker

Stone pickers are generally used on farms that tend to have rocky soil. They do exactly what their name suggests. As they are driven over land, they lift the soil and sift out all of the small stones that can affect a plant's growth.

1. Mash spreader

1. Brick breaker
   Mull digger
2. Hole potter
   Soil auger

For the most part, farmers use soil augers to sample the soil. Some farmers send the soil in for testing while others have kits to test the pH of the soil. This tells farmers whether or not they need to add nutrients to the soil before planting.

1. Apple picker
   Scoop parter
2. Claw harvester
   Corn harvester

Corn harvesters are specifically used to harvest corn. They look like very oversized pitchforks, but their function is specifically to scoop up the corn stalks, strip them and collect them. This saves farmers hours of hard labor.

1. Milking machine
   Spray dobber
2. Cow feeder

1. Ruda puller
   Pull grainer
2. Beet harvester
   Root slip

Beet harvesters, much like corn and potato harvesters, are machines specifically designed to pull specific plants from the ground. Beet harvesters remove beets from the ground without damaging them.

1. Drill soiler
   Trip flipper
2. Flat lifter
   Huller

Flat lifters are also known as subsoilers. Like most tilling machines, flat lifters agitate the ground to loosen the soil and rocks that are in it. They are specifically made to help farmers dig into the soil at deeper levels.

1. Binder
   Finder
2. Winder
   Minder

Binders (also known as reaper-binders), help farmers harvest smaller crops. The machine was once pulled by horses, but now has an engine. Binders also bundle the crops and tie them together.

1. Morna combine
   Fill lifter
2. Fornal cart
   Silage harvester

1. Flip belt
   Roller sorter
2. Microbelt
   Trip belt

Roller sorters are also known as diameter sorters. Produce farmers use these to sort the crops into different areas for customers, factories and compost. They save farmers a lot of time and money, as they don't have to pay hired hands to sort.

1. Rear loader
   Over loader
2. Snow shovel
   Front-end loader

Front-end loaders are like miniature earth movers. They can be used for a variety of tasks on farms. They can move dirt, feed, hay or manure to help farmers with heavy-duty tasks that would normally take a lot of time.

1. Shaper
   Scraper
2. Traper
   Thaper

1. Side mower
   Bill mower
2. Flail mower
   Shoulder mower

When it comes to mowing, you might think that all mowers are created equally. However, this is not always the case. The flail mower was invented to help farmers and landscapers get through shrubbery that is way too thick for an average mower.

1. Siderower
   Swathrower
2. Windrower
   Marchrower

A windrower gets its name from the term windrow, which is a set of hay or grain that has been set out to dry in the wind. The windrower cuts and collects the hay to create the windrows for drying.

1. Flipper-setter
   Mixer-setter
2. Grinder-flipper

1. Hand plow
   Chisel plow
2. Tidging plow
   Ridging plow

Before these attachments were created for tractors, farmers used to have to attach chisel plows to animals to get the power that was necessary for the machine to dig into the ground. Chisel plows offer deep tilling with minimal soil disruption.

1. Planter
   Trowel sorter
2. Blemish sorter
   Microsorter

Blemish sorters help produce farmers identify areas of the crop that aren't doing well. Once the crop is harvested, it is put through a blemish sorter, removing produce with too many blemishes.

1. Tedder
   Tether
2. Feather
   Felter

Before the hay is dried and gathered (in the windrower), it first must be cut. The tedder functions very much like a lawnmower, cutting the crop down before it is windrowed and set to dry.

1. Trap fighter
   Fence maker
2. Post hole digger
