Disc Harrow Implements

The disc harrow is a secondary tillage implement that is used to till the soil and not plough the uncultivated farmland. It uses both the tractor's PTO power and drawbar power of tractor to break the soil lumps to make it fit for seeding and planting.  A disc harrow with 24-inch blades can till up to 6 inches before bringing the soil to a good tilt.

The disc harrow is an agricultural implement that has cutting edges comprising a row of the concave metal disc set at an oblique angle. It is used to till the soil where crops are to be sown. It is also used to weed out unwanted crop residue. Modern krishi yantra harrows are driven by tractors and are raised hydraulically by wheels or by a 3-point lift.

While using disk harrow, you must keep in two things in mind. First, clean the discs with the help of low-pressure water spray to use it for longer period. Second, a disc harrow should neither be pulled very fast nor very slow and the optimum speed should be between 6.5 – 9.5 km per hour.

Many tractor harrow models are available in the market at a price that can be afforded even by small and marginal farmers.
