- Plowing and primary tillage — opening soil with ploughs and heavy tillers.
- Rotary tilling — seedbed preparation with rotary tillers.
- Planting and seeding — powering planters and seed drills.
- Fertilizing and spraying — broadcast or boom applications.
- Hauling and transport — trailers for grain, inputs and materials.
- Harvest support — logistics around combine operations.
- Mowing and vegetation control — field edges and fallow land.
- Front loader work — manure, feed and yard materials.
- Land leveling and ditching — drainage and field structure.
- Orchard and greenhouse work — compact 4WD units in narrow rows.
