Answer:
1. Tractor
There never was a more broad category of farm equipment than this one. If only choosing a tractor were as simple as choosing a color—though many farmers with brand allegiance will tell you it is.
Tractors (one of which is pictured above) are available in sizes appropriate for farmers with 1 acre all the way up to those working 1,000 acres or more. As versatile as these pieces of farm equipment are, a tractor is a pretty common-sense purchase for small-scale farmers. You want one that has the right amount of horsepower and the right hitch rating for the work you plan to do with it. The University of Georgia Extension offers a guide to determining the size of tractor you need for your farm. Hobby Farms has guides including 8 Things to Consider When Buying a Tractor and 4 Tractor Types to Consider for Your Farm.
Expected Price: Expect to spend a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars on a tractor, depending on whether you purchase new or used as well as what features and accessories you choose. (Here’s a start to finding out about those: 13 Tractor Terms Every Hobby Farmer Should Know)
Two-Wheeled Tractor
Also known as a walk-behind tractor, this piece of equipment is worth consideration for the smallest-scale farm. You truly do walk behind it, as the name implies, and you can use a range of attachments: hay baler, rototiller, snow blower, bed shaper, seeder, wagon and so on.
2. ATV/UTV

All-terrain vehicles (or four-wheelers) and utility vehicles (think hefty golf carts) are really fun pieces of farm equipment, yet they’re also really handy. If you have a large property, it’s nice to have an option besides walking everywhere. ATVs and UTVs are great for hauling your harvest or equipment. They can tow small trailers, and you can get attachments for many models.

Expected Price: You can find sporty ATVs and UTVs and those designed for work, and the price varies with that choice. You might spend a few thousand dollars on these farm toys—err, farm tools.
3. Farm Truck

Sure, you can get by farming with your Prius or Mini, but when you need to put a goat in the hatchback, you might wish you had a truck. A host of small, midsize and full-size trucks can fit your farm’s needs. Consider whether you need to pull a trailer, make long trips, put a cap on the bed or drive it through your fields. Once you know what kind of tasks you expect your truck to perform, you can find the right size and look at the makes and models available to you.
Expected Price: Used farm trucks are for sale all the time for less than $1,000—but you might not want to drive those too far off the farm. Brand new, fully loaded trucks that can haul trailers and make long trips start in the $40,000 range.
4. Wagon

A farm “wagon” might be akin to the little red wagon you had as a kid. On the opposite end of the spectrum, it might also be a large, four-wheel wooden piece of farm equipment designed for moving hay. There are wagons at many levels in between, too, and numerous uses for wagons aside from hauling hay.
Expected Price: If you’re handy with tools, you can build your own wagon using mostly found materials for a few hundred dollars. Purchasing a tractor- or truck-towed wagon starts probably in the low thousands of dollars.
5. Backhoe

If digging is your thing, a backhoe is your tool; if you don’t plan to dig holes on a regular basis, you’d be better served to borrow or rent a backhoe rather than purchase your own. Backhoes can be purchased as separate hydraulic implements for some tractor types. According to the Louisiana State University Ag Center, most backhoe attachments are designed to dig as deep as 10 feet.
Expected Price: Backhoes are one of the most expensive tractor attachments; they start in the low thousands of dollars.
