Power Source

This dimension sorts agricultural implements by their power source, human, animal, engine or electric. Wikipedia notes that "especially since the advent of mechanised agriculture, agricultural machinery is an indispensable part of how the world is fed," a shift that moved farm power from muscle to machine. Browsing by power source keeps implements powered the same way grouped together.
