What harrow for a 4x4?

[kit279]

I'd quite like to get a grass harrow for our fields as they need doing more often than I can persuade the stud next door to do it. We don't have a tractor but we have a sturdy 4x4 - what sort of harrow would be best? A chain harrow or a seed drill harrow like this one:-

Any advice?

How does that one attach? Remember tractors usually have a 3 point linkage which a 4x4 doesn't have. Can't see the top of the one in your link so not sure if it would need 3 point or not.

I just have a little 4 foot chain harrow, which has a loop of chain at the front, so you can just loop it over your towbar. Oaks Meadow do an 8 foot version but it's £730 including VAT 0.0

Mine was about £200 from our local farm supplier.

Chain harrow can be pulled off the drawbar so you dont need 3 point linkage by a chain or wire rope would suggest 8Ft - 10 Ft max depending on the 4X4

I use a chain harrow with my truck no probs

Mine has a big metal ring and I just pop it on the tow bar(ball bit) that is really pricey and I would bide your time they do go for quite a bit on ebay but I have seen them going for lower. Or Agricultural auction etc (remember you have to get it home)

Mine about 4x6ft

I have a set of 9ft chain harrows and tow them with an X-Trail, I harrow my school with that combo, too.
