Abstract

India is an agriculture based country in which, 70% of people depends on the outcome of farming. But if we observe that with increase in population the farm gets distributed among the family and because of this, farmer in India held averagely only two acre farm. Also economically, farmers are very poor due to which they are unable to purchase tractors and other costly equipments hence they use traditional method of farming. Agricultural equipment is any kind of machinery used on a farm to help with farming. The best-known example of this kind is the tractor. Basically, many farmers in India also use bullocks, horses and he-buffalo for farming operation. This machine perform four farming operation (digging, sowing, cultivation, spraying) which is used small scale farming .By using above attachments one may perform various farming operations in less time and economically. Agricultural farming products and equipment concerns all tools and machinery used in horticulture and animal husbandry. A wide variety of equipment and products are required based on the industries and operations of a particular farm. The agricultural industry has seen a drastic reduction in labor needs in the past century due to mechanization improvements; further labor reductions are expected as automation and digitalization yield more efficiencies. But there are few backward areas where farmers are still using the hand tools for cultivation.
