FOLLOWING HARROW
LEVELLING AND SOIL FLOW REGULATION
WEED ROOTS DRY OUT
In order to ensure perfect levelling and to create an even weatherproof surface, Kverneland offers an one row following finger harrow in the final working zone. The rear-harrow operates over the entire working width of the HELIOS. The following harrow finishes the job and preserves the seedbed. It restores the fluids, water, air and stimulates physico-chemical reactions and soil life. The following harrow supports the weed control as it uncover and pulls the uprooted weeds out of the soil, leaving them on the surface to dry out in the sun. As the weeds are lighter than the soil particles thrown up, they fall more slowly and lie on top surface after passing over. They dry out quickly - regrowth is practically impossible. This is particularly important with rhizome and other weeds that could start growing again.
Also, the cracking of the surface by the star wheels is completed by the following harrow. By disrupting the topsoil’s upper layer the harrow restores the vertical flows, stimulates physico-chemical reactions and soil life.
A perfect finish
The fingers bent at the end allow a progressive soil flow without the need of higher power requirement. The fingers are overload protected to avoid damage in stony or other difficult conditions. Individual springs ensure the releasing of the tines and keep levelling quality even in stony conditions. The angle and height of the harrow can be adjusted as aggressive as needed for a perfect result. Different setting positions are possible from neutral, smooth, strong and floating. If necessary, it can also be lifted in no-work position.
