three point disc harrow
A three point disc harrow is an essential agricultural implement designed to efficiently prepare soil for planting. This versatile equipment connects to a tractor's three point hitch system, ensuring stable operation and precise control during field preparation. The implement features two or more rows of concave discs mounted at specific angles, which cut, lift, and turn the soil as the tractor moves forward. These hardened steel discs typically range from 18 to 24 inches in diameter and are precisely spaced to achieve optimal soil manipulation. The three point mounting system provides superior maneuverability and allows for easy depth adjustment, enabling farmers to achieve the desired tillage depth for various crop requirements. The harrow's robust frame construction withstands the rigors of heavy duty field operations while maintaining consistent working depth. Modern three point disc harrows often incorporate hydraulic systems for convenient adjustment and transport positions, along with maintenance free bearings that significantly reduce downtime. This implement excels at breaking up soil clods, incorporating crop residue, and creating an ideal seedbed structure. Its effectiveness in both primary and secondary tillage operations makes it an indispensable tool for both small scale farmers and large agricultural operations.
