Agriculture machines, step by step

The machines are in the order they work in the process. Ask us about any of them: we check feasibility and the import rules before we quote.

Land preparation

The soil is ploughed and levelled so that seedlings take root evenly.

Power tiller
A two-wheel tractor steered from behind by its handles. Its rotary blades break up and puddle the soil of small and wet plots.

Tractor with plough or rotavator
A four-wheel tractor that pulls a plough to turn the soil, or drives a rotavator that chops it fine, on larger fields.

Rice seedlings are raised in trays and transplanted in rows; other crops are sown with seed drills.

Rice transplanter
Picks seedlings from a mat nursery tray and sets them into the puddled field in straight rows, at an even spacing and depth.

Seed drill
Opens narrow furrows, drops seed (and often fertiliser) into them at a set rate, and covers them again in one pass.

Water is pumped from wells, canals or rivers and spread across the field.

Irrigation pump
A centrifugal pump that lifts water from a tube well, canal or pond and sends it along channels or pipes to the field.

Diesel engine
A small diesel engine that drives a pump, thresher or other farm machine by belt where there is no grid power.

Drip irrigation kit
A filter, main pipe and thin laterals with drippers that put water, and dissolved fertiliser, right at each plant’s roots.

Weeds are controlled, and fertiliser and crop protection are applied at the right time.

Power weeder
A small walk-behind machine whose turning tines cut weeds between the rows and loosen the soil around the crop.

Sprayer
A tank and pump that send liquid through a lance or boom of nozzles as a fine spray over the crop.

The ripe crop is cut. A combine harvester also threshes and cleans the grain in the same pass.

Reaper
A walk-behind or tractor-mounted cutter bar that cuts standing rice or wheat and lays the stalks in a row for collection.

Combine harvester
Cuts, threshes and cleans the crop in one pass and holds the grain in a tank. Tracked models work in wet rice fields.

Grain is separated from the straw, and fans blow away chaff and dust.

Thresher
A spiked drum that knocks the grain off cut stalks, with a fan that blows the chaff and straw away.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machine
Winnower
A fan blows across the falling grain, so light chaff and dust fly out while clean grain drops through.

Grain is dried to a safe moisture level before it is stored or sold to the mill.

Grain dryer
Blows warm air through freshly harvested grain to bring it down to a moisture safe for storage when the weather is wet.

Moisture meter
A handheld meter that reads how wet the grain is, to know when it is dry enough to store or sell.
