Synopsis (short abstract) This training of trainers (ToT) manual aims to provide insights into the operation, maintenance and basic repair of farm machinery. It provides an overview of the main concepts of equipment that can facilitate sustainable agriculture practices, with examples and guidelines on the topic. Its objective is to provide extension officers, technicians, mechanics, and youth with the necessary information and skills to become trainers and deliver technical capacity sessions on this topic. There is a mix of theory and practice in this training. Participants must have the time to individually perform the different tasks described in the modules with close supervision. The training manual comprises four modules: ▪ Module 1 covers different tractors as a power source and power take-off operations. ▪ Module 2 focuses on the implements and equipment attached to tractors for field operations. ▪ Module 3 is about harvest, post-harvest and storage technologies. ▪ Module 4 covers general aspects and tips for maintenance, spare parts and replacements.

    The course provides an overview of the harvesting and post-harvest handling machinery that can enable small- to medium-scale farmers to harvest and process their crops quickly, while significantly reducing drudgery - and more importantly, losses. Such machinery can also help farmers to store their harvested products to keep them safe, nutritious and optimal for sale and self-consumption.
