- Practice question 1
Custom hiring of specialized machinery, such as a combine harvester, mainly benefits farmers by
- A.requiring farmers to purchase the machine outright first
- B.eliminating the need for any harvesting operation
- C.giving access to expensive equipment without the cost of full ownership
- D.guaranteeing free use with no payment required
Show the answer
C. giving access to expensive equipment without the cost of full ownership

- Practice question 2
The power take-off (PTO) on a tractor mainly functions to
- A.transfer engine power to operate an attached implement
- B.steer the tractor during field operations
- C.measure the fuel consumption of the tractor
- D.brake the tractor during operation
Show the answer
A. transfer engine power to operate an attached implement
PTO shafts channel the tractor's engine power out to drive other equipment.
- Practice question 3

- A.is always towed some distance behind the tractor
- B.requires no connection to a tractor at all
- C.functions identically in every respect to a tractor-drawn implement
