This is only partly working. When I work for a neighbor I am able to use their 8x8 H/P Combine but when a neighbor works for me my 8x8 log truck, tree shaker, flower harvester & 5x5 boat, are not available to them. Why not? It seems that is what is implied by the above. t least that is how I read it.

Did they open the extended toolbox and click on those tools? Do they have fuel as they have to provide their own fuel.

for people to be able to use our tools when working our farms....they must own at least the 3x3 harvester etc and HAVE PLENTY OF FUEL... seems if they don't...then they cannot use our tools...simple....

Yes they do need to have fuel but nothing has been stated about needing to own the 3x3 tools.

I wish the update would come to where we get the bonus on neighbors and buddie's. Again another incentive Not to have nabors or buddies. Like letting hires not to buy tools.

To move animals from your storage to their sheds you don't need anything, just go to the farm with the shed, go into your storage with the animal and click on move button which was added a couple of releases ago and it will move upto the 180 limit into the shed.

The way I read the notes for the herding robot is that it will move bulk animals from the farm to the shed, so if you would say purchase 100 sheep, you could use the herding robot to move those 100 sheep into the animal shed as long as you have room in the shed.

Those are the smaller tools that is purchased with coins. Below shows a picture of some coin tools and Farm Cash tools. The coin tools is in the black boxes.



EDIT: The oil pump is considered a tool, but it works like a factory and is put on the farm and loaded with products to be made.

I think I have figured out why allowing employee to use your tools works sometimes and not others. The key is the difference between single job hire and multiple job hire.
If you are hired for a single job then your tool shows in place of the Gift Box in the tool bar and you don't have access to the extended toolbox. If you are hired for multiple jobs then your tools are in the extended toolbox and you can open that.
