Heavy-Duty Harrow Mounts On Front Of Disk

Heavy-Duty Harrow Mounts On Front Of Disk TILLAGE EUIPMENT Harrows 22-1-20 When David Buss, Clayton, Ill., went looking for an aggressive harrow to mount on back of his disk, he couldn't find what he wanted. So he built his own hydraulically-raised harrow complete with its own lift frame and caster wheel. "There are times when we want to disk without the harrow, such as this past spring when we wanted the ground to dry out," says Buss. "And there are times when we want an aggressive harrowing job which calls for a heavy harrow that would ordinarily be too heavy to carry behind the disk." The add-on harrow's A-shaped lift frame hitches to the back of the disk with a pair of hitch pins. Buss made the harrow gang himself. The inverted "T" hangars came off an old cultivator. He bought the harrow teeth from a parts supplier and mounted them on heavy steel pipe rails. A single hydraulic cylinder at the center of the A-frame raises and lowers the harrow gang.
