Write your answers in your activity notebook. What is It Farm Tools and Equipment for Agronomic Farm tools, implements, and equipment play very important role in agronomic crop work operations. Their availability makes the work much easier and faster. However, even if one may have the most sophisticated tools and implements, but does not know how to use them, they are useless. In order to do horticultural operations successfully, one must have a good working knowledge of the tools, implements and equipment before using them. Hand Tools Hand tools are usually light and are used without the help of animals or machines. They are being used in performing farm activities which involve small areas like school garden and home garden. Bolo It is used for cutting tall grasses and weeds and chopping branches of tree 4  Crowbar It is used for digging big holes and for digging out big stones and stumps. Pick-mattock It is used for digging canals, breaking hard topsoil and for digging up stones and tree stumps Spade It is used for removing trash or soil, digging canals or ditches, and mixing soil media 5  Shovel It is used in removing trash, digging loose soil, moving soil from one place to another and for mixing soil media. Rake is used for cleaning ground and leveling topsoil Spading Fork is used for loosening the soil, digging out crops and turning over the materials in a compost heap 6  Light hoe is used for loosening and leveling soil and digging out furrows for planting. Hand Trowel is used for loosening the soil around the growing plants and putting small amount of manure fertilizer in the soil. Hand cultivator is used for cultivating the garden plot by loosening the soil and removing weeds around the plant. 7  Hand fork is used for inter row cultivation Pruning shears is for cutting branches of planting materials and unnecessary branches of plants. Axe is for cutting bigger size posts. 8 Knife is for cutting planting materials and for performing other operations in horticulture. Sprinklers are used for watering seedlings and young plants. Water pails are used for hauling water, manure and fetilizers. 9 Sprayers is a hand-held agricultural tool with a variously curved blade typically used for cutting weeds Wheel barrow is used for hauling trash, manures, fertilizers, planting materials and other equipment. Sickle is a hand-held agricultural tool with a variously curved blade typically 10 Farm Implements These are accessories which are being pulled by working animals or mounted to machineries (hand tractor, tractor) which are usually used in preparation of land. These are usually made of special kind of metal Plows. These are farm implements used in horticultural operations either pulled by a working animal or a tractor. The plow is specifically used for tilling large areas, making furrows and inter-row cultivation. Plows pulled by working animals are made of either a combination of metal and wood or pure metal. They are used to til areas with a shallower depth than that of the disc plows which are pulled by tractors Native Plow Disc Plow Harrow. The native wooden harrow is made of wood with a metal teeth and pulled by a carabao while the disc harrow is made of metal mounted to a tractor. Harrows are used for tilling and pulverizing the soil Native wooden harrow Disc harrow 11 Rotavator. The rotavator is an implement attached to a tractor and used for tilling and pulverizing the soil Select and Operate Farm Equipment Common Farm Equipment These are machineries used in horticultural operations especially in vegetable production. They are used in land preparation and in transporting farm inputs and products. This equipment needs a highly skilled operator to use. Hand tractor is used to pull a plow and harrow in preparing a large area of land. 12 Four wheel tractor is used to pull disc plow and disc harrow in preparing much bigger area of land Water pumps are used to draw irrigation water from a source. 13  Perform Preventive Maintenance PRE-OPERATIVE CHECK UP OF FARM TOOLS, IMPLEMENTS AND EQUIPMENTS Imagine that the long, hot summer vacation has finally come to an end and it‘s the beginning of the school year and you are ready to start working your vegetable gardens. But before that let us check first our tools, implements and equipment you are going to use. Armed with your working clothes and personal protective equipment (PPE). Proceed to the shop to retrieve your tools so that you can start clearing away the last remnants of summer and begin breaking the soil for a new year. Imagine your frustration as you start pulling out all of your tools to see that they are covered with rust and dirt that has hardened and crusty globs of oil that have collected dust last vacation. It seems that you are going to spend more time cleaning and repairing tools on this nice day than you will actually use them. How to Clean Your Garden Tools: Let‘s start with the basics. Your shovel, spade, hoe, or even the blades on a hedge trimmer will be a lot easier to use if you take a few minutes to knock some of the rust off the blade. Not only will this extend the life of the tool, but also it will cut through the soil better, and thus require less effort to use, if it has a nice sharp blade. It is a good idea to keep a large whetstone in your shop. A whetstone is an ideal tool to use to keep all of the cutting edges of your garden tools honed. It will work well on your shovel, as well as many other common garden tools. The best way to use the stone is to find a way to stabilize the tool that you want to work on. A bench vise is ideal. You will be able to clamp the tool into place at an angle, so you can work on it. Clamping the garden tool into place with a vise frees both of your hands to use the whetstone and gives you more control over what you are doing. Apply a little lubricating oil to the end of the tool and carefully begin to work the stone over the blade. Maintain a 30-degree angle between the stone and the blade to form the ideal cutting edge for your tool. Not only will the edge become sharper, but you will also be removing any pitting and rust that has formed at the edge of your tool‘s blade. In instances where the moving parts of your garden tools (such as with of any new pruners, shears, and loppers) have frozen in place, like springs and pivot joints, you should disassemble them first carefully break free any rust or dirt that may keep the tool from functioning properly. Clean 14 accumulated rust and dirt off all metal surfaces with a wire brush. Remove stubborn rust from small tools with fine steel wool. Using an old toothbrush with some lightweight lubricating oil is a great way to work fresh oil into the joints of most garden tools. Not only will this fresh oil helps your tool to work as it was intended, but it will also prevent the formation of rust. Use medium-grit sandpaper to remove rust on larger tools such as shovels, spades, and hoes. Once your tools are cleaned, they're ready to be sharpened. When sharpening, try to maintain the original factory bevel or angle. For pruners, use a whetstone because it produces a very sharp cutting edge. Depending on the type of whetstone, apply a few drops of oil or water to the stone. With the bevelled side of the blade against the stone, rub the sharp edge of the blade toward the stone in a curved motion, as if you were trying to shave off a thin slice from the stone. When working with a file, stabilize the blades in a vise or against a solid surface such as a work bench to avoid injury and ensure an even stroke. Always push the file across the blade in a motion away from your body. Move the file diagonally, so that its cutting teeth are biting into the metal on the tool. When sharpening with a file, do not use oil; metal filings will accumulate and clog the file's serrations. Farm implements like ordinary plow and wooden harrow should be checked thoroughly before use. Loosened bolts and nuts should be tightened firmly. Disc plow and harrow should also be lubricated on their moving parts like bearings. Tractors should be tuned-up very well by and skilled operator. Checking on their oil, lubricant, fuel and cooling system. Tools that are worn out should be separated and be fixed immediately to avoid accident. What’s More Direction: Search in the internet of three farm equipments and find out how it is used. Illustrate the step by step procedure of how each equipment is used, in order to know how to operate these properly. Make a conclusion about the activity. Write it in your activity notebook.
