A disc harrow is farm machinery that is designed to boost the productivity and efficiency of your farm, and it plays a significant role in preparing the land to enhance crop yields. Harrow breaks up the lump in the soil easily and efficiently and gives a rich finish to the soil, to make a perfect seedbed for sowing. It not only saves the time for tilling a land but also saves fuel and reduces the labour requirements enhancing productivity. A disc harrow is typically made up of boron discs or carbon steel. The sizes and space of the disc blades can be different to meet the different types of requirement in farming.
The type of disc harrow that needs to be used depends on the type of soil as well as the type of work need to be done. A harrow made up of two segments is known as offset disc harrow, and when constructed with four sections, known as a tandem disc harrow.
The concave disc and their offset angle and other factors are considered while selecting a harrow to work on the land. Disc harrows are generally equipped with a three-point lift and pulled behind a tractor. Other options are hydraulic harrow equipped with wheels and can be easily transported on the tires using the hydraulic system.
Disc harrows play a significant role in soil preparation. This agricultural machinery are designed in such a way that it saves time and money in preparing the soil for planting and also improves convenience. Another advantage is that they improve the fertility of the soil, for better crop yield and increased profits. The versatility of the implement makes it easy to adjust them as per the soil type to improve the efficiency and accuracy of soil cultivation. But sometimes its excessive use can be harmful to the soil at your farmland. Thus it is essential for farmers to choose and invest in good quality harrows to increase their production.
