What do you mean by "crops?"
Try perhaps,
"I just need help with XYZ if you'd like to lend a hand."

Crop is a plant such as wheat, rice, or fruit that is grown by farmers and used as food.
Imagine you're a farmer in this situation.
But what I'm asking is about the position of the word 'only' in this sentence.

Gustavo K'If you want, help me with crops only'.Correct.
Gustavo KWould it be possible to say '... only with crops'?Yes. I think I'd use "just" instead of "only" here and say something like
If you want, (you can) help me, but just with the crops.
