3 point disk harrow
The 3 point disk harrow represents a vital piece of agricultural equipment designed to efficiently prepare soil for planting. This implement connects to a tractor via a three-point hitch system, allowing for precise control and maneuverability during operation. The harrow consists of multiple rows of concave steel disks mounted on a robust frame, typically arranged in opposing angles to effectively cut, mix, and level soil. Each disk works to slice through crop residue, break up soil clumps, and incorporate organic matter into the ground. The adjustable gang angles enable operators to customize the tillage intensity based on specific field conditions and requirements. Modern 3 point disk harrows often feature maintenance-free bearings, heavy-duty frames capable of withstanding tough field conditions, and adjustable disk spacing for optimal soil preparation. These implements are available in various working widths, typically ranging from 4 to 12 feet, making them suitable for both small-scale farming operations and larger agricultural enterprises. The design incorporates safety features such as transport locks and protective shields, ensuring secure operation and transportation between fields. Advanced models may include hydraulic adjustment systems for convenient depth control and gang angle modifications from the tractor cab.
