Type of agricultural machinery

Agricultural machinery refers to various types of machinery used in crop production and animal husbandry production, as well as in the initial processing and treatment of agricultural and livestock products. Agricultural machinery includes agricultural power machinery, farmland construction machinery, soil cultivation machinery, planting and fertilizing machinery, plant protection machinery, farmland irrigation and drainage machinery, crop harvesting machinery, agricultural product processing machinery, animal husbandry machinery, and agricultural transportation machinery. The broad scope of agricultural machinery also includes forestry machinery, fishery machinery, and rural sideline machinery such as sericulture, beekeeping, and mushroom cultivation.

Agricultural machinery is generally classified by purpose. Most of these machines are specially designed and manufactured according to the characteristics of agriculture and the special requirements of various operations, such as soil cultivation machinery, planting and fertilizing machinery, plant protection machinery, crop harvesting machinery, animal husbandry machinery, and agricultural product processing machinery. The other part of the agricultural machinery is common with other industries and can be directly selected according to the characteristics and needs of agriculture, such as agricultural power machinery, water pumps in farmland irrigation and drainage machinery, etc.; or according to the characteristics and needs of agriculture, these machines can be designed into agricultural variants, such as agriculture. Agricultural machinery, trailers, and soil and stone machinery in the construction machinery of the transportation machinery.

Agricultural machinery can also be classified according to the power used and its supporting methods. The power of agricultural machinery application can be divided into two parts: one part is used for the walking or moving of agricultural machinery, which can be divided into manpower (hand-held, piggy-back, chest-hanging and push-pull), animal traction, tractor traction and power self-propelled type. The other part is used to drive the working parts of agricultural machinery, according to which can be divided into human (hand, foot, etc.) drive, animal drive, electromechanical drive (using internal combustion engines, wind turbines, motors, etc.) and tractor drive and other types. In the same agricultural machine, the two parts can use the same or different power. According to the matching methods of agricultural machinery and tractors, it can be divided into traction, suspension and semi-suspension types.

According to the mode of operation, agricultural machinery can be divided into two major categories of walking operations and fixed operations. In the agricultural machinery for walking work, there are two types of continuous walking that operate during continuous travel and intermittent walking that alternate between running and working. In stationary agricultural machinery, there are two types of non-movable type that can be moved in the non-operating state and can be moved at a fixed location.

According to the operating site, agricultural machinery is divided into field operations (fields, pastures and orchards, etc.), yard operations, indoor operations (plants, computer rooms, warehouses, greenhouses, and livestock houses, etc.), water or water operations (river, channel, reservoir) And wells, etc.), road operations, and aeronautical operations.
