Disc Blades: The primary component of a disc harrow is its disc blades. These blades are typically made of hardened steel and are arranged in gangs or sets along the length of the implement. The discs are angled to cut through the soil and break up clods effectively.
-
Adjustable Gang Angle: Many mounted disc harrows feature adjustable gang angles, allowing operators to change the angle of the discs relative to the direction of travel. This feature enables customization of the tillage depth and aggressiveness based on soil conditions and tillage objectives.
-
Working Width: Mounted disc harrows come in a variety of widths to accommodate different sizes of tractors and field sizes. They can range from a few feet to over 30 feet in width, allowing for efficient soil preparation across large areas.
-
Depth Control: Most mounted disc harrows offer depth control mechanisms that allow operators to adjust the depth at which the discs penetrate the soil. This feature enables precise seedbed preparation and ensures uniform depth across the entire field.
-
Transport Wheels: To facilitate transport between fields and minimize wear on the disc blades during transport, many mounted disc harrows are equipped with transport wheels that can be raised and lowered as needed.
-
Compatibility with Tractors: Mounted disc harrows are designed to be attached to tractors, typically using a three-point hitch system. They are available in both offset and tandem configurations, depending on the specific requirements of the farming operation.
-
Versatility: Mounted disc harrows are versatile implements that can be used for a variety of soil preparation tasks, including primary tillage, secondary tillage, seedbed preparation, and weed control. They are suitable for use in a wide range of soil types and cropping systems.
