Q: Why don't you have sections?
A: Although there are some advantages to having sections, the "Bridge" Harrow is sold only in sizes to utilize it's unique design. Sections are used on large sizes however.

Q: Are the teeth hardened?
A: No, but the entire harrow is made from hard steel, 1060 is a high carbon steel. There is no need to harden teeth through heat treatment.

Q: Would it be to severe covering seed?
A: This has been a concern, however if the sloped tooth is used, it does work well covering seed.

Q: Why can't it pull from the back? (Four Ways)
A: There could be some advantages to having four choices, but the need is very limited. An attempt at that type of design would result in giving up some of the other unique qualities of our harrow.

Q: How do you handle it?
A: Many owners just simply drag it around. If your harrow is fifteen feet or less, it will fit through most gateways and it won't hurt your laneway or yard. It can be handled by lifting with a tractor loader. Or of course, you could make use of any part of our carrier system.

Q: How come teeth are so short?
A: Longer teeth will not penetrate ground more or do a better job. The harrow frame is designed to do a lot of the work (breaking lumps and spreading manure etc.) It will work better with harrow frame being closer to the ground.

Q: Why doesn't it have more teeth?
A: Our harrow does have fewer teeth than most chain harrows on the market, but with the framework of the harrow doing a lot of the work, a large number of teeth are not necessary. The teeth are positioned in such a way as to cause each tooth to go in a different spot along the ground.

Q: Would it be too heavy?
A: Our harrow is made from heavy steel, but it is not really that heavy total weight as design is just a little coarser than some.

Q: Would it be hard to pull?
A: It is actually easier to pull than other chain harrows. A rule of thumb is two horsepower per foot of harrow width. However this can very depending on conditions.
