Our Heavy Duty 3-Way Chain Harrows provide a versatile solution for maintaining horse paddocks, pasture, grazing land and grassland.
Unlike a conventional fixed-action harrow, the 3-way design allows the chain harrow mat to be used in three different configurations, changing how aggressively the tines work the ground.
This gives you one harrow for everything from more intensive paddock harrowing through to lighter grooming and surface levelling.
For more advice on maintaining grazing land, read our Paddock Harrowing Guide.
The main advantage of a 3-way chain harrow is its versatility. By changing the direction or orientation of the harrow mat, you can alter how the tines interact with the ground.
Used in the more aggressive position, the tines provide a stronger harrowing action. This is useful for working through dead vegetation, thatch and paddock surface material.
Reverse the harrow so the tines work at a shallower angle for a gentler harrowing action. This is useful where less aggressive surface treatment is required.
Turn the chain mat over so the tines face upwards and the flatter side can be dragged across the ground. This provides a lighter levelling and grooming action.
A 3-way chain harrow is particularly useful for equestrian yards because you can alter the working action according to the condition of the paddock.
Typical applications include:

Both designs are useful for paddock maintenance, but they work differently.
A Fixed Tine Chain Harrow provides a straightforward fixed working action and is a simple choice for routine paddock maintenance.
A 3-Way Chain Harrow provides greater versatility because the harrow can be configured for more aggressive harrowing, lighter harrowing or levelling.
If you want one harrow that can be adapted for different paddock conditions and jobs throughout the year, the 3-way design is an excellent option.
The simple tow-behind design means there is no PTO shaft, hydraulic system or separate engine required.
Depending on the size and weight of the harrow and the towing capacity of your vehicle, it can be suitable for use behind:
This makes a 3-way chain harrow particularly useful around equestrian properties, smallholdings and smaller paddocks where using a full-size agricultural tractor may be unnecessary.
Always check the towing capacity of your vehicle and ensure the towing arrangement is suitable before use.
One of the major advantages of a chain harrow is its simplicity. There is no engine to service, no PTO shaft and no hydraulic system.
The heavy-duty chain construction provides a straightforward piece of paddock equipment that can be brought out whenever your pasture or grassland requires attention.
Harrowing is often only one stage of maintaining horse paddocks and grazing land.
When ground conditions are suitable, a Paddock Roller can be used as part of your wider paddock-maintenance programme to help consolidate and level the surface.
For more intensive grassland maintenance, take a look at our Scarrow Grass Harrow, which provides a different working action for paddocks and pasture.
