Disc Harrow

A disc harrow is a farm implement that is used to cultivate the soil where crops are to be planted. It is also used to chop up unwanted weeds or crop remainders. It consists of many iron or steel discs which have slight concavity and are arranged into two or four sections. When viewed from above, the four sections would appear to form an "X" which has been flattened to be wider than it is tall. The discs are also offset so that they are not parallel with the overall direction of the implement. This is so they slice the ground they cut over a little bit to optimize the result. The concavity of the discs as well as their being offset causes them to loosen and pickup the soil they cut.

Heavy Duty Disc Harrow trails behind the tractor and because of heavy design and weight, can effectively break up heavy clods. And when green manure, trash or other surface growth is cross-disced, the organic matter is effectively buried and mixed with the soil and decays rapidly into humus. The harrow has a strong and sturdy main frame with high quality steel discs and heavy- duty chilled cast iron spools to provide center weight Optional wheels can be provided for towing on road.
