Farm equipment is an indispensable part of any efficient agricultural or livestock business. The farm tractor, the combine harvester, and the pickup truck are three of the most commonly used pieces of farm equipment. Tractor parts, implements, and removable attachments are also commonly found on most farms.

The farm tractor is a powerful piece of farm equipment, frequently used to pull machines or trailers in routine ploughing and harrowing activities. Farm tractors traditionally have manual transmissions and large back wheels which can tread easily through the most rugged surfaces. Contemporary models of the farm tractor feature continuously variable transmissions and enclosed cabs, both of which give greater control and protection to the driver. Many people consider the tractor to be the most useful piece of farm equipment.

Another popular piece of farm equipment, the combine, can harvest, thresh, and clean grain plants to obtain seed or grain. Straw resulting from this process can be packed using a hay baler. Modern combines use diesel engines and are self-propelled. Rotary design and electronic threshing measuring were introduced three decades ago, giving combine operators the possibility of optimizing several operating parameters.

Pickup trucks can also be used for collection and transportation. The design and style of this popular type of farm equipment has evolved significantly over the past few years. Their large size and capacity to haul heavy loads have made full-size pickup trucks particularly appreciated in the United States market. Smaller, compact models with inline 4 or V6 engines are also manufactured.
