Cultivation:

The flexible Stump Jump Harrow is the secondary tillage equipment to consider if your land is uneven, rough cleaned, or contains light stony parts. The floating stump jump motion is a tried and true agricultural implement made of high carbon steel. Suitable for breaking down clods, final seed preparation of the land, and levelling heavy pasture area that has been plugged up or packed down. Stump Jumps are also great for weed control and the preparatory stage of vegetable production.

To ensure true tracking and correct stump-jump movement, each Stump Jump segment is attached to the drawbar by four hitching points – one ahead of each row of tines.

Leveling

In addition to sowing or cultivating instruments, levelling harrows are a good choice. The flexible frame design provides durability in various soil types and is designed to level soil and seedbeds. In light to medium soils, 3 and 4 rank versions are ideal for use with combines and seed drills to cover seed. In heavy soils, the 5 rank model is utilised to combat weed development and break down huge clods. It's a popular tool that goes well with cultivators and scarifiers.

The 'Extra Heavy' Leveling Power Harrow is a good alternative if you want to level your land and require a harrow that can withstand the demands of today's conditions. Each tine is made of high carbon steel and has been specifically forged to expose a diamond form that will help you level your ground. Tine spacing is the same as the regular form, making it particularly ideal for heavier clay soils and for usage after primary or secondary irrigation.

Pasture

For pasture establishment, management, and renewal, the Pastureland Harrow System is recommended. Using this equipment will boost pasture growth by breaking down and distributing animal manures and other organic waste uniformly across the entire pasture. This light duty harrow is best for pastures under 100 acres (40 hectares) and tows readily behind small and medium tractors.

Four rows of double-sided tripod tine units are used to cut through manure, clods, and coarse vegetation. The hefty steel square chain mesh that follows the tripod portion further pulverizes and spreads the manure and organic particles, revitalizing the pasture. The "regular" single-mesh chain has eight rows of chain, a spreader bar, and drag weights.
