Grassland Harrow

High quality basic fodder is an important source of energy in the dairy industry. The APV Grassland Harrow pulls out unwanted dead grass, creates space for high quality seeds and aerates the soil. Thus, the harrow stimulates the natural formation and the germination of a diverse plant stock. In combination with a Pneumatic Seeder, you can till your fields in one working process and seed grasses and legumes. In this way, you control the relationship between grasses, legumes and herbs. Improve your grassland stock and increase your yields with APV's Grassland Harrow.

TOP meadow crops with APV

Our Grassland Harrow GS 300 M1 can be used single as well as in combination with an existing roller, given that the GS 300 M1 can be used in front. If needed, the reconsolidation of the sward can be done with the roller at the rear. This leads to a balanced weight distribution, which facilitates particularly work on slopes.

GS 600 M1

The cultivation harrow for grassland treatment

The Grassland Harrow GS 600 M1 is intended for intensive grassland cultivation. The two powerful front tine rows remove lawn thatch and unwanted weeds. The two weaker back tine rows separate the earth from the pulled out weeds and work the spread grass seeds into the soil.

Shape of the tines

Long tines create a high passage and allow faster driving with less problems in connection with blockage.

Thickness of the tines

The harrow consists of four tine rows:

The front two tine rows are equipped with cranked 10 mm (optional 12 mm) spring tines. These tear the sward, remove unwanted grasses and mosses and counteract thatching.
The back two tine rows are equipped with cranked 8 mm spring tines. These separate the soil from the tilled material, work seed into the soil and produce a fine soil (soil closure for the seed).

APV exclusively offers the combination of two rows of strong and two rows of weaker spring tines. This is unique in harrow technology.

Incline adjustment of the tines

Easy adjustment of the aggressiveness of the strong front tines using the feeler wheels.
You can adjust the inclination of the 8 mm tines in the third and fourth tine rows using the bracket with the hole pattern (4 stage adjustment range of 33° in 11° steps).

Our recommendation:

For hard and dry ground, choose a steep tilt of the tine (= aggressive processing - small movement of the tine).
For light and soft ground, choose a flat tilt of the tine (= gentle processing - large movement of the tine)¹.

¹ Pay attention to the contact pressure. When the tines are set too flat, hardly any soil tillage occurs.

Front feeler wheels

The swivel and lockable front feeler wheels make the Grassland Harrow suitable for slopes. Thus, the GS is protected from being pulled downhill.

You can combine the APV Grassland Harrow with the Pneumatic Seeder PS 120 M1 - PS 300 M1 with electric, hydraulic or PTO shaft fan.

GS 300 M1

Mr Maderebner reports about the GS 300 M1

"The device is perfectly suited for steep slopes because of its very low weight. Due to its simple operation it is also well suited as a community machine."

G. Maderebner, farmer

Mr Zimmermann reports about the GS 300 M1

"The intensive harrowing and the simultaneous grassland-reseeding were the purchase-crucial reason. We also use the GS 300 M1 for hauling grass in the spring or for leveling and reseeding boar damage. For additional utilization, we also use our harrow to build catch crops efficiently and quickly. Not only the practical use of the device but also farmers who borrow the harrow, confirm: Easy to use, Effective in the application. "

APV Erfahrungsbericht Grünlandstriegel GS 600 M1

Herr Germer reports about the GS 600 M1

"Our first APV grassland harrow was actually an emergency purchase (the predecessor was damaged in a traffic accident). Then we realised that the work result with the APV grassland harrow is much better. Simply a great implement with a great working picture. "

M. Germer, Contractor

Schug reports about the GS 600 M1

,,Our workshop swears by APV spreaders and I also liked the four rows of tines with different thicknesses. Therefore, the decision has ultimately fallen on APV. We want to use it in the spring to groom and aerate and lightly seize after the first cut targeted areas more, because we think that then the chance for the new seed is better. In addition, we want to carry out the GS 600 also complete new seed. Of course, work in advance with a plow and rotary harrow."

T. Schug, Farmer

Mr Franzl reports about the GS 600 M1

"The GS 600 M1 Full Edition immediately convinced me with its high impact force and perfect harrow result through the use of two tine strengths. Equipped with a hydraulic fan, I am very flexible in application areas, such as seeding catch crops in agriculture. "

Mr Ranftl reports about the GS 600 M1

"On my grassland grow high-quality grasses and herbs. Since cultivating my grassland with the APV GS 600 M1, the biodiversity on my densely overgrown meadows has increased considerably."
