In English Engish "Agricultural Machinery" or "Agricultural Equipment" 
could describe both powered and non-powered farm machinery. 
"Agricultural Engine" historically might have referred to either a fixed 
or mobile steam engine for farm use (not relevant now) or diesel engines 
supplied to other agricultural machinery suppliers, neither of which is 
what is meant here I suspect.
