Meadow Rake for Effective Maintenance of Meadows, Pastures, and Riding Arenas
A meadow rake is an essential tool for the regular maintenance of green spaces. It helps level molehills, spread manure, remove dead plant material, and aerate the soil. This improves turf density and allows the area to develop more evenly. On riding arenas, a meadow rake also ensures a level surface and loosens the soil after use.
The Jansen meadow harrow was developed for use behind small and municipal tractors, quads, ATVs, and ride-on mowers. Thanks to its sturdy construction, it is suitable for regular maintenance work on pastures, horse paddocks, meadows, green spaces, and riding arenas.
Versatile use as a meadow drag, meadow harrow, and riding arena leveler
The design allows for various applications with just one tool. Depending on the requirements, either one or both drag nets can be used. This allows the intensity of soil cultivation to be adapted to the specific conditions.
- Leveling molehills
- Spreading horse and cattle manure
- Maintaining pastures and grasslands
- Loosening the soil surface
- Finishing work on riding arenas
- Maintaining municipal green spaces
What to Look for When Buying a Meadow Harrow
It is crucial that the meadow harrow is compatible with the existing towing vehicle and is built to be sufficiently sturdy. Especially during regular use, high tensile forces act on the frame and tines. Equally important are easy coupling and the ability to adjust the harrowing effect to different soil conditions.
The Jansen meadow harrow has a working width of approximately 1.4 meters and attaches easily to the hitch hook via a drawbar eye. With a weight of about 60 kg, it sits securely on the ground and ensures consistent results. Thanks to its compact design, it is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized areas.
Suitable for a wide range of towing vehicles
The meadow harrow can be used flexibly with various machines. This makes it suitable for private livestock owners as well as agricultural operations and municipalities.
- Small tractors
- Compact tractors
- Municipal tractors
- Quads
- ATVs
- Ride-on mowers with a suitable hitch
Robust construction for regular maintenance work
At Jansen, the focus is on durable and low-maintenance construction. The sturdy frame construction and solid tines are designed for repeated use in grassland maintenance. Should a wear part ever be needed, you’ll benefit from Jansen’s long-term spare parts supply and in-house master workshop. This ensures the meadow harrow remains reliably operational even after many years of use.
Practical tip for grassland maintenance
You’ll achieve the best results by using the meadow harrow in the spring after the fields have dried out or after each grazing period. This helps distribute manure, reduce soil unevenness, and allow the turf to develop more evenly. Even after mowing, using the harrow helps distribute plant debris more evenly and keep the area clean.
