For all the commercial grade agricultural developers and farmers, there is a rich bonanza in the best of farm equipment available today. You have the basic operations such as traction and power to think of, besides the actual operation of planting. You have the aspects of fertilization besides pest control and cultivation as well as irrigation and harvesting. All these operations have been mechanized in a large scale agricultural enterprise. Today, you have the field cultivators that are pulled with the help of tractors and may vary from 10 ft in size to as much as 80 ft. The larger ones have the facility of hydraulic wings. These wings can be folded, so that the cultivators are driven on roads with ease.
There are various kinds of cultivators that can be used for the preparation of the fields as well as for removing the weeds between consecutive rows of crops. The cultivation of soil uses these cultivators as well as different kinds of plow and harrow and the rotary tiller. A very common farm implement is of course the aerator. These aerators have the huge task of keeping the soil from compacting and ensuring that it is always furrowed so as to permit the free passage of the air and water mix along with nutrients. This task is best achieved with the help of shatter tines as well as the leaf tines that help in fracturing the compacted soil, thereby ensuring that the roots are properly nurtured at all times. The large variety in farm implements requires the assistance of manufacturer reps that would be in a position to understand the needs of your commercial farm and suggest suitable remedies.
The pasture aerator is used extensively in pasture land, so that forage can be increased. The manner in which this aerator performs is by processing the texture of the soil on the physical front besides removing the compaction wherever it exists and making the soil porous. On the chemical front the aerator helps in ensuring that the fertilizer and pesticide are mixed in the appropriate proportions and homogenously besides keeping the bacteria and fungi at bay.
