Hi everyone and am contemplating purchasing a disc harrow...what do people make of these? Some of the land will be ploughed and some more is very hilly so ploughing could be out...good purchase or bad...what ye think?
Cheers:)

keep going

i have one and they are very handy.the best thing about them is NO STONES.the other thing is that you can drive away and not be worrying about knubs of rock or roots sticking up. now for the down side they can take longer to reseed than the plough because the roundup needs at least a month to kill the sod and on straight reseeding the field will not be very smooth for a year after them .i also think it work well if you can leave a week between the first runs and the last. i find that use the disc to set a forage crop and then disc and level in the spring to set the hay seed works great

Thought crossed my mind aswel if I was to do more reseeding. Just a small one, say 8'. Will see.

It'd be grand if a lad was commited to doing a bit every year, but it could be just sitting there too, rusting away in corner of a yard:rolleyes:

poor farmer

power harrow is the only way to go

mmm...still not sure what i will do, was offered an old power harrow a few tmths ago for 500 euros but thought it might give lots of probs...i just want something which wont cause much grief and cus harrow a field after ploughing or a after spraying....

keep going

if they ever manage to cross a power harrow with a d8 id consider it ortherwise i ll stick with the disc
