I have convinced myself that these harrows are the beeze knees and if I can get one, an einbock one especially. (of course I've probably been reading too many farmer 'boys toys' forums
.
As its double the price of a framed chain harrow am I mad? Seem to tick all the boxes for grass growth without fertilizer, flattening mole hills and dispersing manure/poo (offsetting the cost of a poo picker, you can see I am rehearsing the conversation with my husband...).
Of course if I did this something has to go, so now looking at a budget flail topper but know idea on what a good budget make is. Whilst usual cost is c2k, I have seen a few for £1k. Its not going to get a lot of hard work (15 acres, 3x year), smoothish fields. I decided on a flail as it reduces the risk of the odd stone damage and chopping up/mulching grass will allow it to decomposed better. Not really looking for gorse/loads of rushes.
