Which code does this activity belong in?

Farm and Garden Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers covers establishments distributing machinery and equipment designed specifically for agricultural, farm, and lawn and garden activities, such as animal feeders, milking machinery, harvesters, planters, and lawnmowers. The boundary separates farm and garden equipment from construction and mining machinery, which are classified in Construction and Mining Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers, and from general industrial machinery distributed by Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers. Establishments must be primarily engaged in wholesale distribution of equipment tailored to agricultural and horticultural use rather than broader industrial applications or other specialized equipment categories.
