farming implements

Plows and hoes

Farming implements are tools and equipment used in agricultural work—plows, hoes, rakes, scythes, and the like.

The term typically refers to hand tools and animal-drawn equipment rather than motorized machinery, giving it a slightly old-fashioned flavor: The barn was full of rusting farming implements.

Also called farm implements.
