* I made this PowerPoint about farm machinery and farm safety because I am very interested in farming. My Granda has a farm and I love to go there. When I go to the farm I give the cows silage and meal. I put in bales with our Massey Ferguson 135 tractor and bale spike. * I drive my quad up the lane even though it is very dark.

A tractor is a machine that works on a farm. It is used for ploughing, sowing, mowing, lifting bales, towing trailers, towing other machinery and cultivating the ground. Tractors are usually used with other machinery to do these jobs. Our tractor is a vintage Massey Ferguson 165. I cant drive it because the steering is too heavy for me. I can drive my Granda’s two tractors, they are a MF 399 and a MF 135. My uncle has a Ford 7610 and I can drive that too. Tractors are easy to drive. I am not allowed to drive on the road.

My quad is a mean machine. I can race about the fields on my quad. My quad is an E-TON 70. I got it in 2013 from Santa. My daddy put a tow bar on it for me. I can pull my trailer with it. I love my quad! Big quads can be very dangerous because they can cope over. You have to be careful. I wear a helmet when I’m on my quad. There are lots of different makes like Honda, Polaris and Suzuki. Quads are very useful for farmers but people use them for fun too. They race them and do jumps with them.

Safety is very important on the farm because there is a lot of very big machinery around. There are a lot of accidents on farms and every year people are killed or injured. It is very dangerous for children on farms because they are small and tractor drivers cannot see them. Slurry pits are very dangerous too. I wear a helmet when I drive my quad because it goes very fast. You have to be careful with animals as well as they can get excited, especially bulls.

This mower is used to mow the grass for hay or silage. You need to have very dry weather for hay. Hay is for is for cows, horses and sheep. Silage can be put in pits or bales. Silage is usually for cattle. Hay and silage are cut in the summertime. The best quality is in early summer. The more dried out the better.

Bale spikes are very dangerous. They are made of very sharp steel. The bale spike is used to lift and move round bales of silage or hay. The farmer uses the round bales to feed cattle and sometimes sheep.
