Harrows---

In regards to T-Nasons post on harrows--Different parts of the country call different machinery different names----

In Iowa this is called a spike-toothed drag or harrow

This is called a disc harrow or just disc

This is called a C-shank field cultivator with a pull type coil tined drag behind it--we use it to level tile lines

Again-a C shanked f.c. with a mounted 3 bar coil tined harrow + a pull type coil tine drag harrow behind it--What we use--it is cheap and makes a real good seed bed

This is called a Danish tined or S-tined field cult.

Big Tee That is a pretty rare bird in SE Texas. I could use an implement exactly like that in my big vegetable garden in La. Who manufactures a harrow like that or even better are they sometimes sold at auctions. Talking good used condition would it be in the $2K to 2.5K ball park?
Thank you for the post. Wingnut

Wingnut, the Danish tine cultivator picture by Big T is a pretty common piece here in Mi. I see them on dealer lots and at auctions allot seem to be priced around a thousand bucks give or take.

This John Deer implement is what we pulled as a post discing finisher. It is now history (as in scrapped) Spring toothed drag. Jim

Around here you can vuy single sections of harrows for $50 and usable 4 section harrows like behind the disc for $500. You can get one nearly new for $2500. There are usually several on every consignment auction.

In the South it's a section harrow.

Big Tee, I went to an auction in the Loess Hills for one of those Danish Tines, an 8 footer and naturally everyone else there wanted it too. Brought $1200! I wanted it for my garden as they do a beautiful job. Hitting fall plowing with a tiller drys it out and we don't need that!
I'm still looking!

What he is talking about in a danish tine unit lucky to find anything less than 12 foot, for one in the 6 foot size it would be a short line company that just speclizes in small machinery. Like the new 2 bottom plows for the small utility type tractors.

Used a spring tooth drag on alfalfa every spring to kill grass. My brother still has one.

In Ohio first picture not a drag but a spike tooth harrow. A drag would be something like a piece of railroad rail or other heavy piece of metal or even several wood planks fastened together so they set on an angle of about 45* Most of them were hooked to a common drawbar to pull behind a disk and it never was called a disk harrow. Sometimes made to mount on the back of the disk or field cultivator but the teeth looked like a railroad spike.

Never used the word ''harrow'' in Central Siberia. We knew that the overall term for a cultivating tool could be ''harrow'' but that didn't tell much. What kind of harrow was it? For that, we just shortened the name to: ''disc, fine toothed drag, spring tooth drag'', etc. What is now called a field cultivator was then called a ''quack digger''. Probably only called that where quack grass was a notorious pest. It was introduced to the US from Europe by the USDA as a ''hardy grass''.
