I’m one of many who have not seen the Power Harrow. It’s interesting what it does to the weeds and I’m sure you’ll let us know how that worked. Thanks for demonstrating some unique equipment. Blessings.

[@glendonmorgan7253]

Harrows like that are great for regenerative agriculture. Tillers disturb the soil much deeper thus disrupting the ecosystem much more. Harrows help prevent soil erosion and also help not tear up the local ecosystems as bad as they don't go nearly as deep, yet still provide a suitable seedbed to allow for good germination rates. The organic people are really starting to move that direction. I discovered these things due to the BCS system of two wheel tractors. I will be getting one similar for my market garden operation.

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

I love your seeder. It really puts things into perspective just how big the big planter in our area are. The wheels look so big on Johnny

[@firionrazar3797]

Hey Tim, at our farm we got the 4m (~39 inches) bigger brother of this machine and we don't use it often. Mostly in dry autumns on clumpy soil. As far as I learned in the university the difference between the power harrow and the tiller is indeed the fact that the power harrows doesn't chop up the soil as much as a tiller at a smaller level (soil degradation). Tillers should be used for gardening where the soil is often replaced/mixed with other components while for large scale farming power harrows are recommended. That type of spiky roller does a really nice job pushing bigger clumps down, leaving fine soil on top, again good for planting vegetables, but there are a lot of other rollers available from Gaspardo for different soils doing the opposite (spiral roller). A thing you maybe did observed but didn't mention in the video is the square tube behind the tines before the roller: it's important how fine you want the soil to be broken up. The lower you put it, the more time the soil will spend in the "working area" of the machine, also defining the working speed. If you're going too fast, with the bar set to low, the soil will be pushed in front of the machine and flowing-splashing over the square bar resulting with only fuel burned up. Working speed is dictated by soil types, weather and how fine you want the soil. You could run the machine from 1.85 - 4.7mph, but at high speeds it doesn't quite got time to work the soil. Another thing is the gearbox (on our Gaspardo on top of the machine which connects to the pto), you can change gears (optional) for different tine rotation speed contributing on matching the machine for your type of soil.

[@firionrazar3797]

From my experience, this machine likes dry and sandy soils more then wet sticky stuff. One big advantage this machine got over a tiller is it's leveling effect. Since it's mostly pushing a bit of earth in front of it, and the tines spinning in different direction it mostly fills ditches (from plowing) with 2 passes. One thing I don't like is: it does level the soil but doesn't work deep so if the tractor is too heavy, without proper floatation, there will compacted tire tracks covered up, visible only after seeding when the soil starts to settle with the associated negative effects visible in the crop within the year.

[@jonathanbraud5648]

We use a power harrow on the big 8410 after spreading manure and disking. Leaves a great finish. Can also smooth out ANY ruts

[@nielsdepraeter1879]

here in Belgium a power harrow gets used a lot, even on big farms, it is used here after tilling ( for gardens or small fields) or ploughing ( wich we do every year) it breaks up the big cloths of dirt and levels the field out, ideal as a seed bed. it is funny to me how some implements aren't used in the USA, but what mostly suprises me is that a lot of farmers in the USA use no till or jusst go over with someting called a VT. Here that is forbidden, we have to plough and cultivate and roll... also I see a lot of farmers do corn after corn or mixed with soybeans, here we need to crop rotate with a period of years depending on the crop. You will never see a field of corn in corn aagain the next year. Just tought this was very interesting. But as always great video Tim! I really enjoy them, coming from a owner of 2 Iseki compact tractors

[@ohiofarmer254]

I like the concept. it would be interesting to see how it does with rocks. Up here in Glacier country ( we have 4 glacial lakes within 5 miles) I grow rocks the size of softballs just under the surface every year we pull 10 to 15 out of the garden and hundreds if not more in the fields

[@MrRandalhandle]

I just purchased a machio dc 2500 (8’ width) this spring. takes about a 100 hp to run. I’ve found that it usually doesn’t pull rocks out of the ground, in fact for the most part it keeps them buried. If it does pull a rock out it will either pull it with you until you pick it up or it kicks out the side. One of the nicest things it does is level the soil. I purchased it for smoothing out small hay fields and grass planting.

[@johniac7078]

I want to get one, but I heard it was a harrowing experience.....lol. Thanks I am here all day!

[@mariouyttebroek5027]

I'm from Belgium and here we use a power harrow a lot. A power harrow is used for making the ground fine. You have to plow first. It is not for mixing ground or working the weed and stuff in the ground, but for making a fine seeding bed.

I've thought of creating kind of a hybrid by attaching a roller to back of a rototiller. I wonder how that would work. Nice video Tim, I always enjoy seeing the different equipment you demo.

[@thomasmccrea8149]

Do it ! I’ve seen little culti packers on European tillers . I like a firm seedbed.

[@tingbase84]

It’s called a stone burrier. None of this kit is new, in europe we’ve been using this type of kit (power harrows and stone burriers) for decades. All high end sports fields/grounds will have been cultivated with this sort of kit

[@fb-cj6mh]

Here in Italy every tiller has the roller. There are many types of rollers. The roller in the video is the heaviest.

[@robbiebaker2412]

That is what I actually thought this was when I saw the picture of it before watching the video. I was actually thinking the same thing. I think adding a roller like that to the back of a tiller would work well as long as the roller was mounted properly to allow the tiller to till to the desired depth while allowing the roller to level the surface. However, tillers usually do a pretty good job of leveling behind themselves, or at least my walk-behind does, so would the roller really be needed?

[@jammin60psd]

We use a 110'' Kuhn power harrow behind a 6130r after discing with a large offset forestry disc to make the fire road drivable again. Or to freshen up a lane before a prescribed fire . Like the issue you experienced with the tiller it's too slow and dept control is problematic. With the power harrow we can travel between 4-6mph and only smooth an roll the top couple inches.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hey Tim. That's a very interesting attachment! I'm curious if any of the tall weeds got wrapped around the tines. Thanks. -Ed

[@barelystablefarm7151]

Hey Tim, I know in another video you said you lay down some 46 before tilling and planting. How often to you side dress the corn during growing and what do you use? Thank you.

[@martingibbs1179]

In the UK I know some farmers who will moldboard plough first to bury the 'trash' usually in combination with a furrow cracker/press to level the seed bed a bit. When you ploughed your garden a few years ago I couldn't help think your subsequent tilling would have been a lot less bumpy if you had pressed the furrows while ploughing. Then drill the seeds in with a combination harrow drill. The final pass will be rib rolling to help retain moisture by slightly compacting the seed bed.

[@e.cfarmphotography1095]

Here in England we use them all the time we have a detachable 3M one that goes I front of the seed drill and for maize and potatoes we take the drill of it and work it down like that are one is also a mashio

You mean a simple drag harrow? No way. Not even close. This power harrow is a much more aggressive tillage tool. Should be compared to disk harrow, field cultivator, or tiller.

[@chrisnash2154]

Forgive my ignorance, but could you use a chain harrow with the tines down? Why didn’t you make a pass with a landscape rake to pick up the weeds?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I don’t want to drive over it again with the tractor. This just packs it down. Bad enough to drive between the rows when planting.

[@khtractors]

[@thomasmccrea8149]

Thanks for the video Tim ! I love the concept of a power harrow and vertical tillage. Problem is they seem to cost 2x as much as a regular tiller 💰😰. Have you ever seen a “Lely Roterra” ? They were used a lot around here for secondary tillage and seedbed prep here in the 80’s before no till. Farmers could rig them up with a cultipacker and a drill behind them. They made a beautiful seedbed ! Basically the same as a smaller power harrow.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. Saw them in the 80’s. They never took off because of too much maintenance, and required too much tractor to pull a decent sized one.

I used to work at the Purdue Agronomy Research Center. We had a machine called a Lely Roterra. It was exactly the same principle as this one only it was 10ft. wide. It took a lot of power but it did a fantastic job, especially for plot work. Only drawback was it ate rotor bearings and gears that drove the tine rotors and they don't like rocks. These things have been around in Europe for a long time.

[@komitadjie]

Really interesting tool! I think just from looking at it that I'd prefer the tiller, for the greater versatility and bed-busting ability for fresh ground. This seems like a tool that doesn't scale down to this level very well, might work a lot better as a somewhat larger tool, on a larger tractor. Very interesting, thanks for the video, Tim!

I really like that power harrower over a tiller. Tim I can’t remember. Have you ever done a video using a gear drive tractor vs a hydro to see if there is much difference. I thought of it after you said going faster pulled down the rpm’s on the Kubota. I wonder if it makes a difference.

[@zachary3777]

It depends, but usually with a pto application like this, the pto consumes the majority of the power anyway. If you're using the drawbar, hydrostatic has a small efficiency penalty.

[@Slane583]

This power-harrow reminds me of the blue handheld "garden-claw" we have for twisting weeds out of the ground because of the vertical rotating "rakes". But on a bigger scale. Some might not like it, but I like how it twists the weeds out and lays them on top. It makes it easy to go in with a rake and rake them into a pile. If the weeds are young enough you shouldn't have to worry about it reseeding itself as the seeds themselves aren't developed. I'd find something like this useful, but I don't have a tractor nor the land for such a thing. :)

It is supposed to keep the vertical gradation of your soil which is supposed to be better for the plants and ground organisms. However, I have stones in my soil and anything bigger than a golf ball will get stuck in the tiller and bog the engine. It is also a pain to remove the stone stuck between the two tines.

Even though it leaves the weeds out it would be much easier to use chemicals on them now that the roots are exposed. Like any other plant it’s going to get route shock so I’m sure if he came back and did it again in a few days it would get almost all of them. It’s kind of a bummer it doesn’t work inside because it seems like that would be a great way to tear up a yard full of weeds in the fall and hit it with weed and feed and then recede it after a rain with the grass you want. It seems like it would also be a great way to deal with scalping well aerating your lawn with that roller in the back. I really have no use for one but I still want one. 😂

Sometimes you need to go deeper than what a tiller can. To get the dirt to dry out faster and to break up a hard pan. Then you need a chisel.or moldboard plow to go deeper.

you can chisel plow and go over it with a power harrow for a nice seedbed

You should do a pass with the roller pinned up, not engaging the ground (if possible), just to see what it looks like.

The constant loud whine from the transmission on those Kubotas would drive me crazy. The BX models seem to be just as loud. Granted, all hydrostatic transmissions emit a slight whine but for some reason the Kubota tractors seem unusually loud. It's even worse on the cab models.

I agree! I can hear my neighbors Bx half a block away.
