Tine Harrows
- The most effective, inexpensive
tool available for
pasture management
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
tine 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
tine 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
tine 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 tine 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.
