Other Equipment

Besides tractors, backhoes, balers, and swathers, other equipment is used for everyday farming tasks, such as checking water, burning weeds, and more.

Pipes are used to distribute water to the furrows of fields. They are very useful in controlling water flow to crops. Wheel rakes are also used to rake up cut hay and prepare it for baling.

Andrew even uses four-wheelers to get around and do small tasks. He has a few ATVs, such as a Honda 500 Rubicon and a Kawasaki 750. ATVs can be useful both on and off the job!
