This is a standard disc harrow that has been designed to chop up, process, and smooth out the 

top layer of soil. The disc harrow is recommended for the establishment of false seedbeds after 

harvesting as well as the preparation of seedbeds for subsequent crops. 

The disc harrow is equipped with 4 rows of chains in a diamond shape with discs mounted on 

them. 

Fig. 5 

The disc harrow has two parts, 

but due to its construction 

with discs mounted on chains, 

it is well-suited to following 

the contours of the field. 

 

POWERCHAIN 800

 

Einbock seeders can be mounted on the disc harrow as additional 

equipment for the establishment of catch crops, for example. The seeds are 

spread out between the first and second row of discs for optimal soil contact 

and germination. If adequate tilling is not achieved in hard or dry conditions, 

up to 7.2 kg of additional weight can also be mounted per disc.
