Weird & Wonderful Japanese Farming Machines

Hi Everyone,

I'm just making this forum as a place for people to post and log all the niche little Japanese machines/attachments for machines that I see in daily life for people's interests.

Feel free to chip in with things you've seen/have used in the past! There's a surprising amount of things out there.

First one I want to feature is this, the "Azenuri" (lit. ridge painter). This tractor attachment is used to both cut out a groove and smooth the border between rice paddies at the beginning of field preparation. It's essentially a large router drill bit and a steamroller all in one, and very satisfying to watch. Generally speaking the cultivators follow this step, and this border also serves as a visual marker to ensure farmers aren't cultivating outside of their plot.

Let me know if there are any other tools you want more info on!
