The FPM 0.7m In-Row Power Harrow P-BRD70/4 is ideal for tilling and breaking up compacted ground ready for planting. The working width is very narrow so it is ideal for orchards and vineyards with a minimum row width of 80cm. The left and right handed blades are mounted to 4 gear-driven blade rotors and till the soil as the machine works. This allows the power harrow to effectively break up compacted soil to leave the ground ready for planting. Always check the land you are about to harrow for any foreign objects or large stones. Remove these prior to starting. Lower the machine to the ground and start the PTO drive at 540RPM then lower in to the ground. Start at a slow speed to prevent the tractor or machine from struggling. Some compacted areas may need 2 passes at a lesser depth to start with then going deeper on a second pass. This machine will work best when the ground isn’t too solid or too wet. Looser soil types will be easier to work on such as sandy areas vs. more compacted clay. The working head can be controlled by the machine’s hydraulic system. The P-BRD70/4 protects trees and vines, including small saplings, using a sensor rod which causes the head to retract when it makes contact with the trunk. The FPM 0.7m In-Row Power Harrow P-BRD70/4 can be attached to the 3 point linkage of a range of small or compact tractors. It is quick and simple to fit and operate.
