Would this unit cut cornstalks in the Spring and would it allow them to flow thru? Or would it just plug up?
 
What type of harrow on the back?

If it is the harrow-gator type harrow it will plug.

Coil tine with good spacing may work in lighter stalks.

What do you mean by gator type tines....The one I say had the harrow hanging on tyhe back.Will that plug? Thanks
 
Never knew they made such a thing when I read your message before.

See it now on the ad.

I donno. I think it would plug on regular stalks. If you have a chopping head, or chop the stalks, or run a light disk over first would go.

I got a soil saver couple years ago, and it is a challenge to get that through regular stalks. After chopping them it works.

It would appear they have the same coulters in front, the shovels are closer on the field cultivator part than the soil saver, so plugging chances would be worse?

As well that style harrow, I do t know that works well in thick stalks?

Price seems like you couldn't go wrong on it tho, worth a gamble for what you'd have in it.

But all this is speculation, I have no experience. So I shouldn't even post this message.

Harrow gator type harrows are also called bar harrows.

Coil tine harrows have more clearance between the tines and are longer to allow the stalks to flow between them. Each tine is spring loaded to allow it to flex to dump stalks before the pile gets to big.

Look at tractorhouse to see coil tine harrows on field cultivators to compare the two types of harrows. Coil tine harrows verus bar harrows.

Both styles may plug but the coil tine stands a better chance of not plugging.

Posted this on the other site, my Summers harrow can handle whatever my field cultivator can pass through.

If I'm seeing the same ad Joe is, the Glencoe has a regular bar harrow.
