Straight Tooth Harrow The adjustable teeth on the Harrow Packer 7960 are 26 inches long and 9/16 inch in diameter. |
Packing Coils The 1-3/4-inch coils apply 130 pounds of pressure per foot to size clumps and firm the seedbed without compacting the soil. They also leave a herringbone pattern in the soil that helps prevent erosion. |
Heavy Duty Drawbar Our 8-by-8-inch drawbar tube is bigger and stronger than anything else available. It provides maximum strength for pulling the unit. |
Hydraulic Depth Adjustment Hydraulic cylinders on the cart and wing wheels allow on-the-go adjustment of down pressure to accommodate different soil conditions and residue. |
Auto Fold The unit’s 22-foot hitch is constructed of 4-inch-by-8-inch steel tubing and has a cable auto-folding design. The cables can be hydraulically released or locked from the tractor seat. A safety spring and manual valve are also included to prevent accidental release in the case of hydraulic pressure failure. |
Box Frame The heavy-duty box frame construction includes dual wheels on oscillating axles for use on uneven terrain. |
