Grass Harrow

 The OPICO grass harrowing concept simply transforms the way you work your grass. The angle of the tine combined with the overall design of the harrow makes it ideal for stimulating new grass or renovating old pastures.

With an OPICO Grass Harrow, leys can be re-vitalised and dry matter yields boosted. You can attach an OPICO Air Seeder, and oversow old worn leys to boost grass and clover content, or start afresh and put down a brand new ley with the harrow and seeder combination.

The OPICO Grass Harrow covers every inch of the ground, thanks to its unique contour flexing tine bed. It clears moss, opens the surface, improves aeration and encourages growth. Like all good ideas it is very simple and is now recommended by thousands of farmers who have switched to this common-sense approach to what used to be a ‘harrowing’ job.

The net effect is a more vigorous and re-vitalised ley, often appearing darker green thanks to the breakdown of the nitrogen cap on the soil surface which is made available to the grass.

• Clear out moss and trash clogging the base of the sward.
• Drag out shallow-rooted weeds like chickweed and annual meadow grass. 
• Open up the soil surface and let oxygen get to the roots.
• Release locked-up surface nitrogen to the growing ley.
• Break up and disperse clumps of slurry and muck.
• Iron out molehills to prevent silage making problems. 

The most important angle on the OPICO Grass Harrow is built into every tine. Firstly, its oil hardened spring wire has three times the service life of a normal sprung steel wire.

The tine itself has an effective angle, but the tines within the bed can be adjusted allowing for ten different tine settings depending on the work to be done.

48 tines per 1.5m bed with 30mm spacing creates more pressure per tine point and good self cleaning action. The tine uses a triple coil spring which increases vibration and improves the harrowing effect.
