In agriculture, a harrow is an implement for cultivating the surface of the soil, in this way it is distinct in its effect from the plough, which is used for deeper cultivation.
Harrows were originally horse-drawn. In modern practice they are almost always tractor-mounted implements, drawn after the tractor.
Harrowing is often carried out on fields to follow the rough finish left by plaguing operations. The purpose of this harrowing is generally to break up clods and lumps of soil and to provide a finer finish, a good tilth, that is suitable for seeding and planting operations.
Harrowing may also be used in farming to remove weeds and to cover seed after sowing.
In modern sports grounds maintenance a light chain harrowing is often used to level off the ground, after heavy use, to remove and smooth out boot marks and indentations.
Harrows may be of several types and weights, depending on the intended purpose. They almost always consist of a rigid frame to which are attached disks, teeth, linked chains or other means of cultivation.
There are two types of horrow. Fist is disk harrow and second is chain harrow. but in New Zealand and Australian dairy areas the tine harrow is common.
Chain harrows are often used for lighter work such as leveling the tilth or covering seed, while disk harrows are typically used for heavy work, such as following plaguing to break up the sod. In addition, there are various types of power harrow, in which the cultivators are power-driven from the tractor rather than depending on its forward motion.
Harrowing is usually given in different directions, first in length, then across, and finally in length as at first. Careful husbandmen study, in the finishing part of the process, to have the harrows drawn in a straight line, without suffering the horses to go in a zigzag manner, and are also attentive that the horses enter fairly upon the ridge, without making a curve at the outset.
In some instances, an excess of harrowing has been found very prejudicial to the succeeding crop; but it is always necessary to give so much as to break the furrow, and level the surface, otherwise the operation is imperfectly perform.
