Biskomaan Harrow
A Biskomaan Harrow is a type of farm implement used for soil cultivation and seedbed preparation. It consists of a series of concave cutting discs mounted on a common shaft or frame. These discs are arranged in rows and angled to cut through the soil, breaking up clods, mixing in organic matter, and leveling the surface in preparation for planting.
Key Features of a Disc Harrow:
Cutting Discs: The cutting discs are the primary working components of the disc harrow. They are typically made of hardened steel and come in various sizes and configurations depending on the specific application and soil conditions.
Adjustable Angle: Many disc harrows offer adjustable disc angles, allowing operators to customize the aggressiveness of the tillage action to suit the soil type, moisture level, and desired depth of cultivation.
Depth Control: Disc harrows may feature depth control mechanisms, such as adjustable skids or depth wheels, to regulate the depth at which the discs penetrate the soil. This ensures consistent tillage depth across the field.
Frame Construction: The frame of the disc harrow provides structural support and houses the cutting discs. It is typically made of heavy-duty materials such as steel to withstand the stresses of field operation.
Hitch Mechanism: Disc harrows are designed to be towed behind tractors or other power sources. They are equipped with hitch mechanisms, such as three-point hitches or drawbars, for easy attachment and transport.
Transport Wheels: Larger disc harrows may feature transport wheels to facilitate movement between fields and transport on roads. These wheels can be raised or lowered as needed during operation.
Versatility: Disc harrows are versatile implements suitable for a wide range of soil cultivation tasks, including breaking up fallow ground, preparing seedbeds, incorporating crop residues, and managing weed growth.
Size and Configuration: Disc harrows come in various sizes and configurations to suit different farm sizes, tractor horsepower ranges, and tillage requirements. They can range from small, single-row models for small-scale operations to large, multi-row units for commercial farming.
