• The paddock range is 5ft depth.
• 3-way tines: The harrows can be pulled in an aggressive or passive
direction, and upturned for a smooth action. To make a change,
disconnect the ‘D’ shackles, turn around, reconnect the harrow mats.
• The mounted frames are designed to pull the harrow in work and
carry the harrow in transport. They are not to be used as a levelling
bar (running at ground level).
• We recommend the frame operates approximately 15-23cm above
ground level. Failure to do so will cause damage.
• The harrow mat and frame must be assembled and tested by a
competent person. The operator must fully understand the
operation and dangers inherent in using this equipment. Ensure the
tractor being used is suitable for purpose.
• Paddock mats are tted with pig tail hooks front and back, these are
for use when connected to a drawbar. The pig tails are not to be
used for connecting to a mounted frame.
• Framed harrows may have shackles attached to the main frame
instead of pigtail connecting hooks.
