Parmiter Spring Harrow
|
The Parmiter Spring Harrow has been developed as a simple dual purpose tool for pasture maintenance and cereal weeding. IT IS THE MOST VERSATILE COST EFFECTIVE MACHINE THAT YOU WILL EVER OWN! The Parmiter range is 3 point linkage mounted and available in 3 working widths of 3m, 4.5m and 6m. Both the 4.5m and 6m models are equipped with standard hydraulic folding. All models feature two adjustable guage wheels with a further two available as an option. Each harrow consists of 1.5m wide sections. |

These sections can flex both individually and independently of each other to allow accurate ground contour following. Each section consists of 6 rows of oil tempered 8mm spring steel tines. There are 60 tines per section which gives an effective spacing of 1 inch. The double coiled tine spring provides both flexibility and a vibrating action.
Height is adjusted using the guage wheels and tine angle is adjusted using the 8 position lever system. These two adjustments give the operator tremendous flexibility to adjust down pressure according to the job in hand. Light down pressure controlled by the wheels and a shallow tine angle will give a light scarifying effect on fine commercial grass, where as more down pressure and a steeper tine angle give enough aggression to level manure.
Working widths of up to 6m and forward speeds of between 4mph and 8mph give large work rates with only a 50 hp tractor needed. This makes the Parmiter harrow one of the most cost effective pieces of equipment on the farm.
The Parmiter Spring Harrow can be used for:
-
tears out moss and dead thatched grass to stimulate new growth
-
breaks up the soil surface and encourages aireation
-
breaks up slurry and muck after spreading
-
spreads manure and levels mole hills
-
harrows in seed after drilling
-
rejuvenate pasture and under sow crops using a harrow mounted seeder
-
remove broad leaved weeds from cereals and combinable crops
