Farm Equipment for Preparing the Soil

If you run a farm, you can benefit from equipment designed to make soil preparation faster and easier. The right machines can help ensure the soil is primed and as fertile as it can be.

Cultivators

These typically help control weeds and remove plant residue from the soil. Once you get your plants growing, cultivators can be used for weeding by spreading the tines.

Harrows

Typically pulled by a tractor, harrows level the soil, redistribute crop residue, and prevent weeds from rooting. They can also be great for breaking up manure or leveling the ground before a project.

Cultipackers

These machines break up packed earth, remove air pockets from the soil, and can push small stones deeper to create a smooth, firm seedbed. Once the seeds are laid on the ground, the cultipacker can then gently embed them into the soil.

Plow

Plows are typically used to loosen or turn soil just before seeding. There are a number of different kinds, however, so make sure you get the right one.
