Equipment List

The Farmer Tool Library offers a selection of tools to support your agricultural equipment needs. We have two tractor options each with compatible implements for a variety of uses. The following items are available for rental:

Eligibility and Member Requirements

Membership is open to farmers and ranchers within a 60 mile radius of the Tool Library site who are actively engaged in farming or ranching for profit. Full competency in using tractors, implements and trailers is not required, though we encourage applicants to have some basic experience prior to renting items. In addition to public workshops and trainings, we also offer free one-to-one technical assistance to help Tool Library Members build skills and confidence with our equipment, and all experience-levels are welcome to join.

Everyone is welcome to apply, but membership priority goes to Historically Underserved Farmers and Ranchers, including producers who are: Beginning; Socially Disadvantaged; Veterans; and of Limited Resource. Learn more about these definitions here.

The Tool Library is open mid-March through November. Open hours are Mondays and Thursdays from 3pm to 7pm throughout the season, except for holidays. Equipment loan periods are Monday-Thursday or Thursday-Monday, and tool reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
