Grass Harrow vs. Einblock Harrow

maxxuumman

What are people's opinions on the Einblock type grass harrow.
I want to get something to do some repairing on areas near gaps and ditches that got a bit poached this spring. I am thinking of getting something and putting a grass barrow on it, something I can use for repairs and ,if necessary to reseed a field after being sprayed off.
Anyone got the Einblock type tine harrow. Are they any good for poached fields?

I have an *Einbock* harrow:)
A great machine for repairing fields. You can set severity of ripping via simple levers. Just make sure to lift when turning!
I had used various chain harrows before, but this is much better, imo.
Only gripe is that when folding with tines set to severe, they tangle in each other.
I don't have the pneumatic seeder attachment, but know someone who does and they are very happy with it for fixing pasture.
I am definitely going to use it to do a simple re-seed this year as a trial.

just do it

Any chance of a picture of an Einblock harrow?

Just seen this now, it looks to give the surface a good ripping.

Do you get many broken tines? Readily available and easily replaced?

Haven't broken one yet, and it's got plenty of use. Maybe I'm just careful;)
Saw replacement tines in local NH garage.

Anyone know where you might get those tines if you had an old harrow it could be a cheaper way of making one
