Power Harrow
PTO-driven seedbed preparation, commonly combined with a compatible seeder.
What it is used for
PTO-driven seedbed preparation, commonly combined with a compatible seeder.
How to operate it
Attach to tractor, add compatible seeder if using a combination, lower/activate and maintain a steady working speed.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor PTO + rear 3-point | Powered seedbed preparation. | Needs PTO power. |
| Compatible mounted seeder | Create a combined power-harrow + seeder unit where the shop combination icon shows compatibility. | Combination compatibility is model-specific; use the shop combinations panel. |
Procedure
- Attach the power harrow to a tractor that meets its power requirement and add ballast if steering or traction becomes light.
- Move to a straight field edge and unfold the implement if it has transport sections.
- Lower the power harrow fully into its working position before accelerating to working speed.
- Make straight parallel passes with enough overlap to avoid untouched strips; watch the field texture/state behind the implement as confirmation.
- Lift the implement before headland turns so it does not drag sideways through the soil, then line up and lower for the next pass.
- Use to create a fine seedbed, often paired with or attached to a compatible seeder.

Alternative options
Cultivator + separate seeder.
Direct-drill seeder.
Practical tips
- Combination rigs can save a complete field pass.
- Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
