Agricultural mechanics

the long version

Agricultural Mechanics : Fundamentals & Applications, fifth edition, has been substantially revised and expanded to cover the latest information in the field of agricultural mechanics. It was written for students and individuals who wish to learn basic mechanical skills. It grew out of the need for an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, and highly illustrated text on modern agricultural mechanics for high school and post-secondary programs. This book addresses the specific needs of students enrolled in agriscience, production agriculture, ornamental horticulture, agribusiness, agricultural mechanics, and natural resources programs. The text starts with very basic and general information, such as career opportunities, and then provides instruction on basic mechanical skills and applications. - Preface.
