Chain harrows and rollers

[Bay_Beasty]

I have a quad bike which we use to rake to school with an arena mate rake. It has not helped our school, which has become super boggy over this wet winter even though we live on gravel, on a hill, and the school has amazing drainage. So i was thinking of getting a roller, and a harrow so I could roll and harrow the school and also do the fields.

Does anyone have any idea were I could find good ones second hand, as I really can't afford new ones?

Look in the local papers or look out for collective sales as they often come up there. Don't know if harrowing and rolling will help the school, I'd contact the supplier and ask their advice.

If you are on gravel on a hill, and your school is boggy, your arena hasn't been put in properly!

You'd probably be better off buying something like Clopf to mix into the surface than waste money on harrows and roller!

e-bay farm equipment section is wonderful for second hand stuff.

Hmmn the amount of rain round these parts has been exceptional - our ground is so wet and boggy even our gravel slope is boggy this winter. Normally it's dry, drains beautifully, our chickens are having mud baths not dust baths and that's under the hen house where it doesn't rain.
I'd suggest a farm sale, we picked our harrows up for about £10, they did need repairing a little admittedly, but there's nothing I know of coming up in Berkshire area at the moment.
