The most effective, inexpensive tool available for:
Residue Management
Heavy residue is quickly surfaced without clogging or bunching even in
the most extreme no-till or ridge-till applications
Hay or Pasture Land Management
Studies prove that mechanically stimulating forage land is the most
cost-effective method to drastically improve the hardiness and
productivity of the hay or pasture, for several reasons.
First of all, scratching the surface covers open seed, thereby
assisting germination and the establishment of new plants. Stimulating
and spreading the dead thatch helps it to decompose more quickly and
evenly to provide important nutrients to the entire area.
Solid or liquid manure makes the surrounding grass unpalatable for
livestock. Treatment with a harrow maximizes the fertilizer benefits of
droppings by encouraging decomposition, spreading nutrients,
incorporating moisture, uncovering growth and aerating soil. In
addition, rodent mounds are effectively leveled.
Soil Preparation
In combination with field cultivators, the harrow prepares a firm, level
seedbed or follows to pack and cover. Used alone, it breaks up crust,
ridges or stalks for minimum or no-till operations.
Chemical/Moisture Incorporation
The various sizes of the harrow make it ideal for mounting behind your
disc, field cultivator or applicator for one-pass applications. Low, wet
areas dry more quickly when aerated by the a harrow.
Surface Smoothing
Arenas or playing fields become smooth and loosely packed, a safe
surface for activities. Set the tynes to fill holes and level or to
loosen soil and aid drying. Gravel roads or dirt paths are quickly
maintained, dried and raked.
Turf Maintenance
Unmanaged turf becomes heavily thatched, preventing healthy new growth
from reaching its full potential. Harrows stimulate growth by surfacing
the dead material, helping to aerate the soil; and strengthening the
grasses.
