953 nut 55,228 #1 Posted January 9 Hats off to the harrow Our plowed field has been smoothed somewhat by the drag harrow; now final preparations must be made prior to planting. Ole Ringness of Norway, a mail carrier, invented the disc plow and disc harrow after noticing how a warped wheel on his wagon moved large amounts of mud while moving. Harrows are not very heavy and their main job is not to dig deep into the ground. Instead, they are better suited for tasks that happen close to the soil surface like killing emergent weeds and preparing the seedbed. The advantages of using a Disc Harrow are that it breaks up clods in the soil and surface crusts, cultivates the soil very precisely, Improves soil aeration and surface uniformity. The disc harrow is good for eliminating weeds and kills the already emerged weeds and the discs can be adjusted to any soil type pulverizing the soil thoroughly. 4 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
