Harrowing the Pasture

hydraulic top link right there so without further ado let's fire this puppy up and we're going to get busy sun's about to go down here in just a little bit we'll get you some beautiful shots of the farm guys hope you enjoyed the video please post any questions or comments you might have right down there in the comments section [Music] do guys i can't say how impressed i am with this harrow this thing is a huge time saver and just the perfect thing for spreading out all these manure pets some of these manure pets out here that these cows are putting out are upwards of like a five gallon bucket full of manure can you imagine over the next two to three years we'll basically have a two to three inch layer of manure on the top of all of our soil so if we leave these manure pads alone they'll grow big clumps of grass and the cows will hardly touch them because it's too close to their feces and that increases their risk of getting parasites like worms so we don't have to worm our cattle because we're spreading the manure out we're not wasting the manure in big piles and big pets that's what this is all about being smart with your land managing your property every square inch of your property if it's not being used it's not worth having [Music] so guys while we're pulling this along i want to show you real quick and you can see from the footage i've got a camera mounted to the harrow you can see these it looks like a chain almost it's basically called a chain harrow these are links that are all linked together with different tines or teeth there are different ways that you can drag you can drag it more aggressive or less aggressive depending on the way that you have the drag set up we've got it set up in the most aggressive way and what this does is it kind of digs a tiny little trench maybe a half inch to a quarter inch trench into the soil which allows that manure to settle in those little trenches fill those in feed those worms feed those microbes and help our soil to grow we're not just growing beef we're growing soil and that's where it all starts and we really have to think about this guys so i'm going to get you a little footage right now of what the harrow actually looks like and how these tines are interlocked and how it all works and you can also connect a drag to the rear of this machine and even do more work with it so whether you're using a harrow this big or whether you're using a little five or six four-foot harrow behind your atv or utv just…
