Harrowing Services
Breaking up clods and levelling ploughed land into a fine seedbed with tractor-drawn harrows.
About Harrowing Services
After ploughing, harrowing breaks the large clods and creates a seedbed suitable for planting, while also helping to control young weeds. We use disc or tine harrows depending on the soil and the crop's needs.
What we do
- Inspection of the ploughed land and seedbed requirements
- Harrowing with suitable disc or tine harrows
- One or more passes to achieve the seedbed needed
- Levelling of the field surface
- Record of acreage harrowed
- Recommendation on planting timing
What we need from you to quote
- Farm location and acres to be harrowed
- Whether the field has already been ploughed and when
- Crop to be planted and the seedbed fineness required
- Soil type and moisture at the time of work
- Any stones, stumps or obstructions in the field
- Preferred dates and access for the tractor
