LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Use of Farm Tools and Equipment and Maintenance

Background Information for Learners

Farm tools, implements, and equipment play a very important role in agricultural crop
production. Their availability makes the work much easier and faster. However, even if one
may have the most sophisticated tools and implements, but does not know how to use them,
they are useless. To do crop production operations successfully, one must have good
knowledge of the tools, implements, and equipment before using them.
Equipment such as tractors, harvesters, threshers, and corn shellers should be in good
operating conditions to prevent serious damages and accidents when they are operated.
Therefore, pre-operation check-up of these equipment is very necessary. Operators of these
equipment should use a checklist of items to be inspected and then check off the list as they
examine each item.
Tools and equipment are huge investment to make farm works more efficient. We know
that tools and equipment are mostly made up of metals which easily corrode when they are
exposed to dirt and water. Therefore, preventive maintenance operation on tools and equipment
should be done regularly to keep them in safe and usable condition and to lengthen their shelf
life.
Learning Competencies with Codes:
1. Select and use farm tools and equipment (TLE_AFAC7/8UT-0a-1&
TLE_AFAC7/8UT-0b-2)
• Identify farm tools and equipment according to use
• Conduct pre-operation check-up in line with the manufacturer’s manual
• Use appropriate tools and equipment for the job requirement according to
manufacturer's specifications and instructions
2. Perform preventive maintenance of tools and equipment(TLE_AFAC7/8UT-0c-3)
• Clean tools and equipment after use in line with farm procedures
• Perform routine check-up and maintenance
• Perform preventive maintenance by following the procedures in sharpening
and oiling farm tools and equipment

Apply Safety Measures in Farm Operations

Background Information for Learners:

Many hazards are present on the farm. If the farmers are not aware of these hazards
these hazards may cause serious injuries to their body which may eventually cause their death.
Farmers should be very observant of the presence of different hazards in their workplace and
should know the risks they may encounter when they are exposed to these hazards. Farmers
should identify the different farm activities that involve the use of poisonous chemicals and
hazardous tools, implements, and equipment. Proper Personal Protective Equipment should
always be worn in performing farm activities.

Learning Competencies with Codes:

1. Determine area of concern for safety measures (TLE_AFAHCT9-12SMF-If-19)

• Identify work tasks in line with farm operations
• Determine place for safety measures in line with farm operations
• Determine time for safety measures in line with farm operations
• Prepare appropriate tools, materials, and outfits in line with job requirements

2. Apply appropriate safety measures (TLE_AFAC7/8OS-0h-i-7)

• Wear outfits according to farm requirements.
• Observe strictly the effectivity/shelf life/expiration of materials.
• Follow emergency procedures to ensure a safe work requirement.
• Report hazards in the workplace in line with farm guidelines.
