Pastures

Paddock, Rings, Arenas, and Training Tracks

Maintenance Used regularly during the pasture  season, the Fuerst Harrow will stimulate grass growth and spread manure, insuring better fertilization, faster decomposition, and better control of parasites.

 

Smoothing The Fuerst Harrow, operated with  tines down, will fluff and aerate the surface, fill in hoof prints and rough spots, and leave a smooth, loose surface perfectly suited for safe riding and training.

 

Renovation, Overseeding Use the Fuerst  Harrow to aerate pastures without disturbing established turf. After seeding, use the Fuerst Harrow to improve germination. Pulling the Fuerst Harrow behind the seeder can make this a one-pass  operation.

 

Drying When surfaces are wet and compacted,  they can quickly be put into riding condition by using the Fuerst Harrow with the tines down. After the surface is dry, going over it gain with the tines up will put the surface in  safe training and riding condition.

 

Fertilization After applying fertilizer, operating the Fuerst F-l-e-x-i-b-l-e Tine Harrow® will provide faster fertilizer penetration. Livestock can be turned back to pasture sooner. Harrowing also  reduces the chance of burning the herbage if the grass is wet when fertilized. Often the Fuerst Harrow can be pulled behind the fertilizer spreader for one-trip coverage.

 

Improving Bridle Paths, Gravel Drives, and Parking Areas The Fuerst F-l-e-x-i-b-l-e  Tine Harrow® is an excellent tool for loosening and smoothing paths and lanes. On drives and parking areas, the Fuerst Harrow will fill in low spots, reducing standing water and ruts.
