PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A disc harrow is an essential agricultural implement used to till the soil, break up clods, and prepare the land for planting. It consists of multiple concave metal discs arranged on one or more axles, which rotate and cut into the soil as it is pulled across fields by a tractor or other machinery. The discs chop up crop residue, aerate the soil, and create a smooth, even seedbed. Disc harrows vary in size and configuration to suit different soil types and farming needs. This tool improves soil quality, weed control, and crop yields, making it indispensable in modern farming.
