Early Field Entry Engineering: How the LARI drag harrow from LOZOVA MACHINERY optimizes spring growth

The success of the spring sowing campaign and future crop yields directly depend on timely and high-quality moisture retention. Modern agricultural business requires reliable solutions, as conventional pre-sowing cultivators often struggle with overly wet soil, quickly clogging with mud and dense crop residues from corn or sunflower. The heavy-duty tine drag harrow LARI, manufactured by the well-known Ukrainian producer LOZOVA MACHINERY, effectively solves this complex task thanks to its unique articulated section design and carefully engineered tine geometry.

Technical factors ensuring excellent field performance:

• Complete resistance to clogging and sticking: the special diamond-shaped working tines minimize the contact area with wet soil. The drag harrow, consisting of 16 rows (arranged in an 8+8 configuration), efficiently self-cleans directly during field operation, eliminating forced machine downtime even under difficult field conditions. This is especially important during early spring harrowing, when every hour in the field affects moisture preservation and future yields.
• Adaptive ground contour following: the flexible and movable connection of individual sections ensures precise copying of the field microrelief. This helps prevent skips or excessive penetration even on difficult areas with pronounced surface irregularities. Thanks to uniform load distribution, the drag harrow operates consistently on both light and heavy soils.
• Two-position attack angle for various conditions: quick 180-degree repositioning of the drag section allows operators to rapidly change the tine angle (22° or 40°). This enables flexible adjustment of tillage aggressiveness according to soil type, moisture level, and the amount of crop residues in the field. Such an adjustment system significantly increases the versatility of the implement and the efficiency of pre-sowing soil preparation.

An additional advantage of LARI is its high productivity and ability to operate efficiently across large areas within tight agronomic timeframes. The implement effectively performs moisture sealing, field surface leveling, and partial destruction of young weed sprouts. This helps optimize field preparation for sowing and reduce the number of additional machinery passes.

This agricultural equipment guarantees high-quality crushing of soil clods, breaks up dense soil crust formed after winter, and evenly distributes crop residues across the surface. The formation of a fine cloddy top layer up to 8 cm deep creates optimal conditions for the accumulation and preservation of productive moisture. That is why the heavy-duty tine harrow LARI by LOZOVA MACHINERY is an effective solution for both minimum tillage and conventional soil cultivation technologies.

Buying the LARI drag harrow from LOZOVA MACHINERY means investing in stable equipment performance under conditions of increased moisture, large volumes of stubble, and intensive seasonal workloads. The implement creates a high-quality seedbed for subsequent operation of high-performance seed drills, promotes uniform crop emergence, and helps maximize the efficient use of spring moisture to achieve high yields.
