Fraser Valley farm implements cover a wide variety of tools crucial to the agriculture industry in this region. While a tractor is the workhorse of this industry, without attachments it is just a really cool means of transportation. Mowers, cutters and harvesters are just a few of the many options available to you. Here are a few of the tasks that require Fraser Valley farm implements:

Soil Cultivation

Preparing your soil for planting is crucial to the success of your crops. Plows, rotators and tillers are all great implements for moving earth and preparing your ground for planting. Sometimes the ground has obstacles that need to be removed, in that case we recommend a stone picker or rock rake to remove these obstructions.

Planting

After you have prepared the ground for seed, a towable planter is required to sow seeds throughout the field. Planters lay the seeds in a precise and controlled manner and vary greatly in size.

Fertilization

Slurry spreaders or sprayers typically feature a towable tank or open trailer that spreads manure consistently along your planted fields. The first automated manure spreader was designed by Joseph Kemp in 1875 and was essentially a wagon towed by horses. Modern sprayers have come a long way since then with crop-specific technology.

Harvesting

Harvesting implements cover a wide range of tasks, including produce sorters, mowers, grain augers and silage trailers. Modern technology allows you to automatically sort berries by colour, density, size and shape. This allows you to get your crop to the store faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Of course there are many other varieties of farming implements that can be easily attached to your tractor. We recommend you check out our full line of new agriculture implements for more information on wood processing, landscaping and agriculture implements.
