Harrow the Pasture for Manure and Hay Distribution

Regenerative farming How to renovate pasture without chemicals!
What happens here
Drive the tractor with the attached drag harrow into the pasture. Lower the drag harrow using the hydraulic controls. The drag harrow's tines will dig into the soil, breaking up and spreading the manure piles. It also helps distribute any unconsumed hay and grass seed from the hay bales. Drive across the pasture in a systematic pattern to ensure even coverage. Depending on the wetness and clumpiness of the manure, some sections may need to be dragged two or three times to achieve optimal spreading. This process helps to naturally fertilize the land, reduce grass seed buildup, and decrease the need for commercial fertilizers and diesel fuel.
Goal: Evenly spread manure and hay across the pasture to improve soil health.
