Bow Island, Alberta | We use a Brandt 50' heavy harrow in the fall to break up and spread irrigated wheat straw and bury a few seeds. It only works well when it's warm and the straw is really dry. Even on a very dry day in September, we can usually only get 6 hours in a good day without leaving some bunches. We can adjust the angle of the tines depending on conditions. On a dry field like that, the tines hardly go into the ground and it takes at least 200 hp to go 6 MPH. They work much better at 8 or 10.
In a soft worked field, with the tines quite aggressive, I think you would need at least 300 hp to get any speed, but maybe for that job speed isn't important. | |
