If you have a very large job to do you may want to look at a bigger disc harrow. I had about 5000 sq. ft. so it was big enough for me. The product assembled easily and is very well made. Each set of four discs (there are two sets) has an adjustment for the angle and spacing between the sets. The discs are assembled onto a large shaft and are separated by spacers one of which is the bearing journal for the shaft assembly. There is a grease fitting on each bearing journal to prevent wear.

You will should have a Brinley type hitch on your tractor so the harrow can be raised off the ground for transport. On top of the harrow there is a tray which will hold two concrete blocks for weight. I used 8"x16"x4" solid blocks (about 40 lbs each). It worked very well but it might even work better with more weight (8"x16"x8" solid). I don't know if that is a standard size but it can easily be made filling a regular concrete block with cement. I'd cement in a bent rod to use as a handle so it will be easier to lift the blocks.

Your tractor will know your pulling it so be sure you have enough power. If you don't have plenty of power use less weight.

"Order Tree" was the vendor I purchased it from on Amazon.com. They are excellent with good communication and fast shipping. I had the item in a few days. I would highly recommend them.

I thought it might help break up the soil around my home. It barely made a scratch on the dirt even with 3 cinderblocks on top. I even sharpened the edges thinking it just needed a little help. No such luck. It must be for situations where the dirt is nice and soft and loamy to begin with.

Users must keep in mind what this is - a cultivator/harrow not a plow. This is not intended to break virgin/hardpacked soil, a disk is inteded to break up dirt clods, or cultivate previously worked soil. If you need to break ground get a tiller or a PLOW. Used after the brinly moldboard plow it breaks up and smoothes the soil out. Also good for scarring the ground before overseeding lawn with seed, then go over with roller to pack it down. This item does what it says it will - download the manual for more info.

I am guessing that the disc may work on soil that is already tilled and nearly ready to plant. I hoped it would cut through sod, but in spite of how much weight I added no luck.

Hooked cultivator on to my riding lawn mower and used this to knock down dirt clumps after sepic and water lines were put in--Saved me time,hard shovel work, and money. I did not have to pay someone else--Plan to use to do more leveling work in Yard--Good Buy--Thanks
