agricultural tools

Tractor and plow

Agricultural tools are implements used in farming and cultivation—from simple hand tools like hoes, sickles, and rakes to complex machinery like tractors and combines.

The term encompasses anything designed to prepare soil, plant seeds, tend crops, or harvest produce.

The museum displayed agricultural tools spanning three centuries of American farming.
