agricultural machinery
Let an agent identify kinds of agricultural machinery and their functions, relay safety, road and emissions rules, describe the industry and history, and separate machinery from hand tools and from unrelated aliases.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent identify kinds of agricultural machinery and their functions, relay safety, road and emissions rules, describe the industry and history, and separate machinery from hand tools and from unrelated aliases.
Machines and vehicles used in farming, from tractors, combine harvesters, ploughs, seeders and sprayers to milking machines, irrigation equipment and specialised harvesters, together with agricultural aircraft used for spraying; agricultural machinery has transformed farm productivity since the nineteenth century, is manufactured by a global industry and is regulated for safety, road use and emissions.
What it is for: Mechanising farm work.
It can be identify kinds and functions; relay safety and regulatory rules; describe the industry and history; separate from hand tools.
Distinguishing features
Farm mechanisation
Tractor and implement system
Seasonal and specialised use
Safety and road regulation
What it looks like
Large wheeled or tracked vehicles and implements, often painted in maker colours, with attachments for tillage, planting, spraying and harvesting.
How it is recognised
Powered machines and implements for farming
Tractors, harvesters, implements and specialised equipment
Hand tools are separate; construction machinery differs in purpose

What the second pass must settle

- How should safety standards be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming specific aircraft and unrelated items; should they be split off?
