It would be redundant to say that agriculture is important to a nation. This is no less true for France. In order to meet the needs of irrigation, soil fertilization, planting and harvesting, it uses key tools that have grown up and become almost indispensable.
Presentation
We will see the tools mainly used in agriculture. They are diverse, but each clearly responds to a specific need
The main agricultural tools
The Compactor Can be towed and requires very little maintenance, the Compactor is composed of steel tines used to decompress the soil and aerate it without turning it over to facilitate the penetration and development of the roots in the soil. It is used for tillage. His Jallu tine breaks the plough sole and loosens the ploughed soil layer. The potato planter Very used for planting potatoes in agricultural France, the modern potato planter has the ability to sow several rows in a single pass. It is equipped with a hopper and a frame. There are two types of planters: manual and automatic. The manure spreader Composed of a storage tank and a feeding spreading system, the spreader allows cattle and livestock manure to be spread regularly in order to fertilize the soil. It is towed and its contents are advanced on a carpet. The spreaders are available in different sizes ranging from 5 to 25t payload. Combine Harvester For harvesting, mainly cereals, combine harvester is a self-propelled machine that carries out two operations simultaneously and automatically which, other times, were distinct: harvesting and threshing. Depending on the type of harvest, some adjustments can be made on this machine to determine the height of the cut, the speed of rotation of the mixer, the power of ventilation... The rewinder Thanks to its flexibility of use, the rewinder is a very widespread irrigation tool. It consists of a garden cannon fed by a flexible hose. Its adjustments can be made mainly on the intervals of passage, the flow of the reel and the forward speed of the barrel. The tractor As its name suggests, it is a machine that is used in agriculture to tow, carry or push various implements. Agricultural tractors have a powerful engine, generally thermal, with domestic fuel oil as fuel.
