A sickle is a hand-held agricultural tool with a variously curved blade typically used for

harvesting grain crops or cutting succulent forage chiefly for feeding livestock (either freshly cut
or dried as hay).



A Grab hoe is an ancient and versatile agricultural tool used to move small amounts of soil.
Common goals include weed control by agitating the surface of the soil around plants, piling soil
around the base of plants (hilling), creating narrow furrows (drills) and shallow trenches for
planting seeds and bulbs, to chop weeds, roots and crop residues, and even to dig or move soil,
such as when harvesting root crops




A bolo is a large cutting tool of Filipino origin similar to the machete, used particularly in the
jungles of Indonesia, the Philippines, and in the sugar fields of Cuba. The primary use for the
bolo is clearing vegetation, whether for agriculture or during trail blazing.



A mattock /mtk/ is a versatile hand tool, used for digging and chopping, similar to the
pickaxe. It has a long handle, and a stout head, which combines an axe blade and an adze
(cutter mattock) or a pick and an adze (pick mattock). In some countries (such as New
Zealand), the term dibber is used for a mattock.


A trowel is one of several similar hand tools used for digging, smoothing, or otherwise moving
around small amounts of viscous or particulate material.


A garden fork, spading fork, digging fork or graip is a gardening implement, with a handle and
several (usually four) short, sturdy tines. It is used for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in
gardening and farming.



A crowbar, wrecking bar, pry bar, or prybar, pinch-bar or sometimes (in British
usage) a prise bar, prisebar, and more informally a jimmy, jimmy bar, jemmy
[1]

or gooseneck is a tool consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and
flattened points, often with a small fissure on one or both ends for removing
nails. In the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, "crowbar" may occasionally
be used loosely for this tool, but may also be used to mean a larger straighter
tool (see spud bar). The term jemmy or jimmy most often refers to the tool
when used for burglary.






A spade is a tool designed primarily for the purpose of digging or removing
earth and spreading the soil.
[1]
Early spades were made of riven wood.
After the art of metalworking was discovered, spades were made with
sharper tips of metal. Before the introduction of metal spades manual
labor was less efficient at moving earth, with picks being required to break
up the soil in addition to a spade for moving the dirt. With a metal tip, a
spade can both break and move the earth in most situations, increasing
efficiency.





A shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving
bulk materials, such as soil, coal, gravel, snow,
sand, or ore. Shovels are common tools that are
used extensively in agriculture, construction, and
gardening



A rake (Old English raca, cognate with Dutch raak,
German Rechen, from the root meaning "to scrape
together," "heap up") is a broom for outside use; a
horticultural implement consisting of a toothed bar
fixed transversely to a handle, and used to collect
leaves, hay, grass, etc., and, in gardening, for
loosening the soil, light weeding and levelling,
removing dead grass from lawns, and generally for
purposes performed in agriculture by the harrow.



The Union Tools spading fork is a multipurpose tool that can be used for turning, digging, and
loosening all types of soil. It can also be used to transfer loose material. The forged head
contains 4 diamond-shaped tines for maximum strength and durability.





A dibber or dibble is a pointed wooden stick for making holes in the ground so that seeds,
seedlings or small bulbs can be planted. Dibbers come in a variety of designs including the
straight dibber, T-handled dibber, trowel dibber, and L-shaped dibber. In some countries (such
as New Zealand) the term is also often used to refer to a mattock.


Pruning shears, also called hand pruners (in American English), or secateurs, are a type of
scissors for use on plants. They are strong enough to prune hard branches of trees and shrubs,
sometimes up to two centimetres thick. They are used in gardening, arboriculture, farming,
flower arranging, and nature conservation, where fine-scale habitat management is required.

In agriculture, a sprayer is a piece of equipment that spray nozzles to apply herbicides,
pesticides, and fertilizers to agricultural crops. Sprayers range in size from man-portable units
(typically backpacks with spray guns) to trailed sprayers that are connected to a tractor, to self-
propelled units similar to tractors, with boom mounts of 60151 feet in length.

A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just one wheel, designed to be
pushed and guided by a single person using two handles to the rear, or by a sail to push the
ancient wheelbarrow by wind. The term "wheelbarrow" is made of two words: "wheel" and
"barrow." "Barrow" is a derivation of the Old English "bearwe" which was a device used for
carrying loads

An axe (or ax) is an implement that has been used for millennia to shape, split and cut wood; to
harvest timber; as a weapon; and as a ceremonial or heraldic symbol. The axe has many forms
and specialised uses but generally consists of an axe head with a handle, or helve.



A butter knife resting on a stand
A knife (plural knives) is a cutting tool with a
cutting edge or blade, hand-held or otherwise, with or
without a handle. Knife-like tools were used at least two-
and-a-half million years ago, as evidenced by the
Oldowan tools.
[1][2]
Originally made of rock, bone, flint,
and obsidian, knives have evolved in construction as
technology has, with blades being made from bronze,
copper, iron, steel, ceramics, and titanium. Many
cultures have their unique version of the knife. Due to its
role as humankind's first tool, certain cultures have
attached spiritual and religious significance to the
knife.

A hand cultivator is a gardening tool that is used to turn the
soil where plants and vegetables are planted, or it can be
used to remove weeds from soil in a garden. For small
flower or vegetable gardens, a hand cultivator can be used
like a small plow to turn the earth and dig the planting
rows. Using a hand cultivator is not difficult, and this easy
to follow step-by-step guide will show you everything you
need to know in order to properly use the tool.

A bucket or pail is typically a watertight, vertical cylinder or
truncated cone, with an open top and a flat bottom, attached to a
semicircular carrying handle called the bail.

PLOW, also spelled plough, most important agricultural implement since the beginning of
history, used to turn and break up soil, to bury crop residues, and to help control weeds.
a large farming implement with one or more blades fixed in a frame, drawn by a tractor or by
animals and used for cutting furrows in the soil and turning it over, especially to prepare for the
planting of seeds.






In agriculture, a harrow (often called a set of harrows in a plurale tantum sense) is an
implement for breaking up and smoothing out the surface of the soil. In this way it is distinct in
its effect from the plough, which is used for deeper tillage. Harrowing is often carried out on
fields to follow the rough finish left by ploughing operations. The purpose of this harrowing is
generally to break up clods (lumps of soil) and to provide a finer finish, a good tilth or soil
structure that is suitable for seedbed use. Such coarser harrowing may also be used to remove
weeds and to cover seed after sowing. Harrows differ from cultivators in that they disturb the
whole surface of the soil, such as to prepare a seedbed, instead of disturbing only narrow trails
that skirt crop rows (to kill weeds).















A rotavator is a very useful tool that for a homeowner is used in the garden or an allotment,
and also in fields by farmland owners. The purpose of a rotavator is to break up the soil so that
planting (either of crops or plants, mostly seeds) can take place. They do not dig deeply into the
soil, but will turn the soil up to about 9 in depth, although the depth will depend largely on the
size of the machine and the type of soil it is being used on. Rotavators are a time and energy
saving alternative to turning the soil over using a spade (although in very small spaces using a
hand-held tool may be best). They are best suited to plots of land that are actively used for
growing vegetables or flowers, or market style gardens. They can be a useful tool for spreading
compost or manure, although they will not get them deep into the ground.
