Chain Harrows

[Gander]

Does anyone have experience of this type of Polish chain Harrow?

Are they more or less aggressive than usual Parmiter type harrows? Do beds wear quick? Can replacements be bought?

Look to be a few selling them on FB and the like at not too ridiculous a price. Don’t know of any round here to go and look at though. Thanks

I have a Ritchie set which are very similar, they do a good job, they probably are a bit more aggressive and better for leveling mole hills and such, they don't seem to wear to fast though I haven't done massive amounts with mine, can't see that replacements would be a problem.
You are welcome to come and have a look

We've had a 6m set just like those for a few years, we really like them. Have got them on the less aggressive side and work a treat for breaking up muck etc. Really good at levelling ground up as well. There's plenty of steel in the frame and think the beds will last a long time

Hope there good as I've bought a 5mtr set this week.

Thanks all. Just what I wanted to hear

We have the Ritchie version. Galvanised frame. Reversible bed with long and short angled spikes so 4 options. Stored only in winter. At least 10 years old. Looks virtually as new. Never needed any parts. Very well made and worth a look.

We have one of these
Bought last season to replace a Ritchie Harrow. It seems well made but the biggest reason for us choosing it is that it’s much narrower on the road than the Ritchie
Our Ritchie was 3m wide when folded which is nearly impossible around here. With the new Harrow it’s 2.5 I think but still 6m in the field

I got the Ritchie, I think they were similar price but galvanised. And hopefully they’re British.

I have a 6m set similar to the OP, and looked at the Ritchie the time. The galvanised one was about £700 more than I paid.
It was suggested to me at the time that the galvanising wears off where the frame rides on the ground. Is that not the case? That’s the only point the paint has worn off mine too, so still protected from rust.

The skids are shiny on mine, but it doesn’t really get surface rust. The rest of it is like new, and it’s usually sat outside.

Just bought a 6m set too.
