@transformer450 Harrows like these are great for fall tillage after combining to get some volunteer and wild oat seeds to germinate. They cover a great amount of acreage cheaper than any other tillage. They are also great for post seeding tillage to get any surface weeds or just to smooth things out after chisel plowing.
@altractors because they are actually two tractors linked together. 1086's I believe? Even back in the 50's some farmers realized the benefits of bolting tractors back to back. The engine of the 2+2's are in front of the front wheels, not behind like other articulated tractors (steiger) etc.
What is the advantage of those big harrows and not no-till or even disk the field lightly?
