Drag Harrow

DRAG HARROW ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1.Assemble the hitch (#1), boom (#2) and braces (#3) using the hardware supplied.

2.Mount the assembly on the tractor using the three point pins.

3.Space the stakes according to the size of harrow sections used (see drawing on next page). Mount the stakes using stake caps, ½” x 1 ½” hex bolts, ½” lock washers and ½” hex nuts. Simultaneously fasten the 10-link drag chain between the stake and stake cap using the same bolts. A 7/16” long spacer is fitted in the last link of drag chain. The bolt goes through the spacer and prevents the chain from being clamped tight.

STAKE SPACING FOR DRAG HARROWS

4.Bolt the ¼” lift chains to the top of the stakes using 3/8” x 1 ½” hex bolts, flat washer and lock nuts. Use about 21 links on the lift chain to attach the stake to the harrow section.
