[AT] spring tooth harrows

[Dennis Johnson]

I have been looking for an inexpensive spring tooth I can use for parts. I got some teeth some years back and made a small one for my garden tractors (Case444 and JD318). I spaced the teeth with about 2” gap between them, and overall width is just under 3 feet. It works well for several things, one of which is spreading gravel.
I want to make a similar one a bit larger for a class 1 hitch on my MF35D it similar tractors.

When I was a teenager we would run a section harrow behind the offset disc harrow if we were trying to break up clods, level furrows, knock the dirt off roots, etc. Just wondering what good a spring tooth harrow was/is. Yes I know it will choke up in trashy ground, and pull hard if you set the teeth way down.
