6ft framed chain harrow, used once for demonstration video.
Harrowing should be carried out as part of any pasture management programme, in the spring preferably after grazing in conjunction with rolling and before any fertilizer application. Harrowing removes dead thatch lifts vegetation up and levels any mole hills. Its job is to allow air movement and root aeration which helps the soil to breathe and improves water infiltration. It reduces disease by exposing fungi and bacteria to sunlight which is essential for the health of the pasture. Chain harrows can also be used in arable conditions for seed bed preparation and covering seed after drilling. When used on sports fields they are very effective at removing and spreading worm casts and ripping out moss. Chain harrows can be used for levelling all weather race tracks and indoor or outdoor jumping arenas and ménage’s .
