The Agricultural Mechanization Development Program developed some machines particularly corn and peanut shellers having a range of sizes to choose from to suit one's requirement. A power tiller attached to rice transplanter was also developed to complement the existing manually-operated rice transplanter. Fabrication of these machines also varies from as simple as home-made to the more complicated engine driven machines. This will make possible for the farmers to pick the best suited machines that will cater to their technical and financial capabilities. Furthermore, once machines are acquired by farmers, the learning process gained in the use of mechanization technologies may later trigger the utilization of a higher level of mechanization technologies which could benefit the farmers and manufacturers alike.
