What is the function of Plough, Hoe and Cultivator?


Dear Mehek,


Plough, Hoe, and Cultivator are three important tools for soil preparation.


Plough is used for ploughing. It is made of iron or wood. It is pulled by a pair of animals like cows or oxen or horses and operated by the farmer through the handle.  It has 3 important parts such as Ploughshare which is a strong triangular iron strip, Plough shaft which is a long log of wood, and Beam which is a stand placed on animals’ neck.


Hoe is used for loosening soil. It is made of wood or iron. A strong iron plate attached to the long rod which acts as a blade and helps to loosen the soil. It is also pulled by animals.


Cultivator is used for ploughing. Cultivators can be manual as well as tractor driven. Tractor driven cultivators are fast, it saves time and human labour.
