You must’ve had a little harrow considering this requires 50 horses or more!

We have done this since I was a kid and I’m 41. You need to do a before and after video to make others see and believe the difference. Great video!👊🏼

I purchased the Wingfield MaxiLift after watching this video - Chris even hand delivered to my acreage on his way to the Iowa State Fair! The unit did a GREAT job on my gravel driveway - better that I could have ever imagined. Brought back to life and will pay for itself versus rerocking in short order. The 3-point allows to back right up to barn to start dragging. i plan to scratch up the barnyard before overseeding this fall. Keep up the great work Josh!

Hey Josh Glad to see you listened to your subscribers on your content

We use a drag harrow on our pastures over here in Forsyth County

Josh, I just bought a 35hp Kyoti and so far I love it, my wife just turned me on to your channel this morning and I have been watching for over 3 hrs. and have really enjoyed.

Hey Josh, I'm a 64 year old retired machinist that has found some inspiration watching your videos. I'm 6'3 225 lbs and have decided to get back on my road bike to get in the best shape I can for my age. I was seriously injured in a deer stand fall in 2014 and that kind of stopped my efforts achieving my goals of good health. But, I'm going to get back on my bike, in spite of the risk to a replacement shoulder and get in better shape. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wingfield Equipment. Made right here in Urbana,IL Home of the Fighting Illini !

Thanks for the video Josh. We've been looking at buying one of these.

Looks great! Need to add that to my list of attachment want for our farm.

Compare a landscape rake to a tine harrow. I have gopher mounds, rough spot in yard, misc dead branches and garden to clean up. Minimal gravel use.

Josh, I been busy with life so I haven’t been able to watch for a bit, so I was amazed when I hit play and saw you buddy. You done gone and lost some of that spare tire. Good for you! Also love the video. I got a harrow awhile back and I too think it’s awesome for grounds keeping. Best wishes.

We call them chain harrows we mostly use them in spring we use tine harrows with a air over seeder to

That's an awesome setup. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Use mine all the time in the winter when the cows stay up.

My dad made a pickup harrow use a drag harrow and angle iron to make a pickup harrow it works great

Hi...... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

Whenever I use just a rear implement on my tractor I remove whatever I have attached to the front, like hogging a winding tree line, I can get right close without having to pay constant attention weather I'm going to hit or hook onto something with my frontend.

My drag harrow is one of my favorite attachments it’s 6’ wish I had a 10’

We pull one with a 2030 John deere works just fine its a pull typ some times the super A is hooked to it.

harrow looks like a nice tool

Love the content - the tractor you have is enviable. The drag harrow we use is most aggressive when the tines dig in - the reverse of what you had in the video. It works great to clean up and rejuvenate the hay fields or move the manure around in the Spring before over-seeding. Made the mistake of going over a small section of a well-established gravel driveway and it drag up some of the base stone. If you were to flip it (so the tines face up) it works on the gravel for that smooth look. Our drag harrow did not come with a manual, so we had to learn through use. Thanks again and enjoy your new attachment.

@StoneyRidgeFarmer

You can do it...however spreading manure around like this will also spread around disease...there's a reason why we move out cattle...keep them off manure. So you can do this with the cows in the pasture, but the goal is pasture recovery after you drag it. Spreading the manure to cover more ground, let it rain and regenerate growth. Remember....cows on fresh ground have a lower parasitic load than cows on manure covered ground

You're showing something that had been around for years Not to mention you forget to mention the drawbacks off running a "large" tractor over the paddocks, the compaction and disturbance of the soil are to major one's yes sometimes disturbing the soil is good but in your case i see a fair bit of dust you'd be impacting the soil moistier. There are times they are great like just before rain EX realistically you'd be trying to do it while doing a another task like over sowing in one pass the more passes the less productive you are, if you're running a 110hp tractor around on flat ground with such little load you're costing yourself more then it's worth

I dispute that using this tractor is overkill. A more powerful tractor ensures less stress on the vehicle and it can handle the harrow better.

110 hp? You can pull a harrow three times as wide !

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thanks for your honesty. It's just that there are many you tube farmers and home steaders that have so much equipment. The total cost and upkeep and insurance exceeds any viability of running a small farm. In some cases it exceeds the value of the farm itself? So there must be a side hustle going on. Not true farm or property management, like some of these guys claim. Simple math explains it all.
