Classification of John Deere Farm Equipment

The first type I will talk about is tillage. Under tillage there is plows, chisel plows, discs, rippers, row crop cultivators, field cultivators, finishers, combination tools, rotary hoes, and roller harrows. These tools are used for “ripping” up the ground while digging and cutting up plants left from harvest. This is done so the ground won’t get hard and to stir up the nutrients in the soil.

Planting and seeding is an important part of this essay, without this we couldn’t grow plants. In planting and seeding there is no till air seeders and drills and there is integral and drawn planters. A no till air seeder is a planter that uses air pressure to push the seeds into the ground; therefore there is no tilling necessary. It is the same for the drill, except, the drill doesn’t use air pressure to put the seeds into the ground. It has a series of knives and roun

In harvesting there are combines and cotton harvesters. A combine is a tractor with different attachments on the front of it to cut different types of crops. It has a corn head for corn and a grain head for wheat, beans and hay. The combine cuts down the crop, run it through series of screens and grinders to remove the seed from the plant, and the puts the seeds in a storage bin on top, and spits the rest of the plant out of the back. The cotton harvester or, cotton picker, is quite similar to the combine, except it doesn’t have interchangeable attachments, it can only harvest cotton. It works the same way, cuts the cotton, strips the cotton from the plant, and stores the cotton and then spits out the plant.

The last category is tractors. Tractors are the main part of farming. They are used in the pulling and towing of most of the equipment mentioned earlier. There are compact utility tractors (18-18 HP), utility tractors (44-105 HP), specialty tractors (64-95 HP), row crop tractors (95-255 HP), four wheel drive tractors (280-450 HP), and track tractors (170-450 HP). All these types of tractors look and act the same; they just have different capabilities, except for the track tractors. Track tractors look like a normal tractor except they one large track on each side, like a bulldozer. They are used for very large equipment and mucky fields.

There are two different kinds of sprayers, self-propelled and pull type. A self-propelled sprayer looks like a big truck with a big water tank in the middle of it. This water tank stores the pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer or whatever the farmer wishes to spray on the field. This works by
