Now days, there are many types of tractors and other high tech farm equipment to help with the heavy labor. But mechanisation is less accessible for women compared to men.
Most negative effects are not inherent to farm mechanisation and can be addressed with complementary agronomic practices and adequate policies.
Soil erosion can be reduced with conservation agriculture , which protects soils by replacing heavy disc ploughs with less soil-disturbing rippers or direct seeders and continuous soil covers.
Deforestation can be minimised with careful land-use planning, for example, by protecting land that is particularly valuable for climate change mitigation, biodiversity, and wildlife.
With the right policies, countries can harness the potential of mechanisation and manage challenges.

Tractors are typically designed with powerful engines to run over rough terrain and pull extremely heavy loads, making them effective in tough farming or landscape tasks. Modern tractors also come with cast iron front axles for extra strength and durability. Modern tractors feature powershift transmission and hydrostatic transmission to simplify operation.
While these tractors are also provided with power steering to make turning much easier, advanced models help reduce operator fatigue with exclusive shift controls and an automatically responsive transmission.

I like that you talked about how their engines are powerful and run well over rough terrain.
