  1. Using Large Landscape Maintenance Equipment

  2. Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards Addressed! • CCSS.ELA Literacy.RST.9‐10.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions. • CCSS.ELA Literacy.RST.9‐ 10.3 Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks, attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text. • CCSS.ELA Literacy. RST.11‐12.2 Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paraphrasing them in simpler but still accurate terms. • CCSS.ELA Literacy.RST.11‐12.3 Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks; analyze the specific results based on explanations in the text. • HSNQ.A.3 Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities. (HS‐PS1‐2),(HSPS1‐4),(HS‐PS1‐5),(HS‐PS1‐7) • HSSIC.B.6 Evaluate reports based on data. (HS‐LS2‐6)

  3. Agriculture, Food, and Natural Standards Addressed • PST.01.02. Apply physical science and engineering principles to design, implement and improve safe and efficient mechanical systems in AFNR situations. • PST.01.02.03.b. Select, maintain and demonstrate the proper use of tools, machines and equipment used in different AFNR related mechanical systems.

  4. Bell Work / Learning Objectives • Describe the types of tractors and transport equipment used in landscaping. • Explain cutting and digging equipment used in landscaping projects. • Describe tillage and soil moving equipment used in landscaping. • Discuss the maintenance of large landscape equipment.

  5. Terms • Backhoe • Bulldozer • Chisel Plow • Disk • Dump Truck • Field Cultivator • Forklifts • Front-end Loader • Grader • Harrow • Hydraulic Cylinders • Mechanical Tree Spade • Posthole Digger • Power Take Off (PTO) Shaft • Shredders • Stump Grinders • Trencher

  6. Would You: • Mow a pasture with a push mower? • Dig a pond with a shovel? • Use a pickup to haul 6 tons of gravel?

  7. Tractors • Tractors are the power source for pulling and operating large equipment. • Small utility tractors are fueled by gasoline. • Larger tractors usually have diesel engines. • The power take off (PTO) shaftis a shaft that drives or powers pull behind equipment such as a fertilizer spreader.

  8. Tractors Cont. • Hydraulic cylinderscan be used to lift and lower equipment such as a front-end loader. • Tractors can also be used for towing equipment that has its own engine.

  9. Transportation Equipment • Transportation equipment includes trucks, forklifts, and trailers. • Trucks and trailers are used to haul supplies and equipment to the job site. • Forklifts are hydraulically operated, self-powered machines that are used to move, load, and unload supplies stacked on pal-lets.

  10. What Cutting and Digging Equipment is Used on Large Landscaping Projects? • Explain cutting and digging equipment used in landscaping projects.

  11. Cutting Equipment • Mowers cut grass and weeds. • Shredders are PTO operated by a tractor or are pulled by a truck if they have their own motor. • Shredders/Chippergrind branches and limbs into wood chips used for mulch. • Stump grindersare used to grind tree stumps into fine wood chips (coarse sawdust) that is also used as mulch.

  12. Digging Equipment • Soil digging equipment is essential for many jobs. • A backhoeis a hydraulically operated bucket on the back of a tractor used to dig trenches and holes. • A posthole diggeris another hydraulically operated piece of equipment that mounts on the back of a tractor. • It is a fast way to dig holes for fence posts.

  13. Digging Equipment Cont. • A trencheris a hydraulically driven rotating chain with blades that is used to dig a narrow channel for the placement of concrete footings or electric wiring. • A mechanical tree spadeis mounted on a truck and is used to dig large trees. • The tree spade filled with the tree and surrounding soil is transported to a new location for planting.

  14. Tillage Equipment • Tillage equipment loosens soil for seedbed preparation, aeration, weed control, and ease of water movement. • A field cultivatorhas shovels that dig into the ground to loosen soil and kill weeds. • A diskis a piece of equipment that uses round blades to loosen and pulverize the soil. • It is especially useful in seedbed preparation.

  15. Tillage Equipment Cont. • A harrowhas steel prongs or teeth and is used as a leveling device. • It is often attached to or pulled behind a disk or field cultivator. • A chisel plowhas a combination of round blades in the front and shovels in the back. • It tills deeper than a disk or field cultivator and leaves the surface rough and open.

  16. Soil Moving Equipment • Soil moving equipment can move large quantities of material • A bulldozerhas a front blade and runs on tracks rather than tires. • A front-end loaderhas a bucket and is a tire operated machine. • A graderis a self propeller piece of equipment that has a blade that can be depth and angle adjusted. • A dump truckis a truck used for hauling material that can be hydraulically dumped.

  19. Maintenance • Maintenance and storage procedures for large power equipment is generally explained in the equipment’s operations manual. • Carefully check over the equipment before each use for needed repairs. • Check fluid levels, service records, and general condition of the equipment before starting.

  20. Maintenance Cont. • Large landscape equipment represents a substantial investment. • Proper maintenance and operation are essential to protect your investment and keep the equipment working efficiently. • Store the equipment in a clean dry place. Keep equipment clean and well lubricated.

  21. Review/Summary • What types of tractors and transport equipment are used in landscaping? • What cutting and digging equipment is used on large landscaping projects? • What tillage and soil moving equipment is used on large landscaping projects? • What maintenance should be done with large equipment?

  22. The End!
