Agricultural machinery refers to all kinds of machinery used in the processes of crop cultivation and animal husbandry production, as well as in the initial processing and handling of agricultural and livestock products. Agricultural machinery includes agricultural power machinery, farmland construction machinery, soil tillage machinery, planting and fertilizing machinery, plant protection machinery, farmland irrigation and drainage machinery, crop harvesting machinery, agricultural product processing machinery, animal husbandry machinery and agricultural transportation machinery, etc.
Category Agricultural machineryAgricultural machinery and equipment can be classified into the following main categories based on their functions, and they cover the following typical equipment:
1. Power and Farming Equipment
Tractor : As the core power source, used to tow other farm tools to complete operations such as tillage and sowing .
Diesel/gasoline engine : An internal combustion engine that provides stable power .
Tiller/deep loosening machine : For basic tillage such as soil ploughing and loosening .
plow/disc plow : Traditional ploughing tool, used in conjunction with a tractor .
2. Planting and field Management Equipment
Planter : Precisely complete the sowing of seeds or seedlings (such as grain row planter, corn hole planter) .
Fertilizer applicator : In combination with sowing or working independently to achieve even application of fertilizer .
Agricultural drones : Used for efficient agricultural operations such as pesticide spraying and crop monitoring .
Sprinkler/drip irrigation equipment : For precise irrigation and water-saving management .
3. Harvesting and Processing Equipment
Combine harvester : It can complete the processes of harvesting, threshing and cleaning in one go, and is suitable for crops such as wheat and corn .
Thresher/baler : Separating grains or baling straw .
Rice mill/flour mill : Used for the primary processing of agricultural products such as rice and wheat .
4. Animal Husbandry and Auxiliary Equipment
Feed processing machine/milking machine : Making pellet feed or automated milking .
Agricultural transport vehicles/trailers : For transporting seeds, feed and agricultural products .
Greenhouse environmental control equipment : including ventilation, heating and supplementary lighting systems, for facility agriculture .
5. Other Specialized equipment
Bulldozers/excavators : used for land leveling and ditch excavation in farmland construction .
Pest and disease control machinery : such as sprayers, powder sprayers .
Dryer/cold storage : For drying or preserving agricultural products .
The above classification and equipment cover the entire process tools from tillage to processing, reflecting the trend of diversity and specialization of modern agricultural machinery .
