A trowel is a small implement used by gardeners and even pot gardeners. It looks like a miniature shovel and is used on a small scale for much the same purposes.
2. A leveller is used to level the ground. Sometimes its a grader, sometimes a lawn roller.
3. A combine is a machine used to harvest wheat and/or other grains. It's called a combine because it combines the job of the reaper and the thresher.
4. A knapsack sprayer is a small sprayer that fits on your back and applies insecticides and/or fertilizers.
5. A combine would be one kind of harvester. Others could harvest anything from peas to potatoes.
6. A jute bag is a durable long lasting bag used to harvest and transport various crops. I think cotton would be one.

Ok, trowels are also used in masonry work. There are land levelers that are used to level fields for flood irrigation. Unleveled fields don't allow the water to flow over the field evenly. Combines are the big, $300,000 machines you see combining wheat on the ATT Cingular commercial. Harvesting machines could also be corn pickers, sugar beet harvesters, cotton pickers and so on. Totally different machines other than harvesting a crop. Jute bags used to be called gunny sacks. Later they were burlap bags but are seldom found these days except for seed potatoes and some nuts like almonds. Very course weave and made from jute.

Go to your local farm supply store and ask them. They may even offer to show you these different implements and how they work in the field.
