The Hillco Harrow: A Step Above
Trusted...
The Hillco Technologies Harrow Cart has become a trusted piece of equipment for farmers and ranchers looking for efficiency and reliability. This blog dives into what makes the Hillco Harrow Cart your ideal option.
1. Innovative Design for Optimal Soil Preparation
Hillco Technologies has a notable reputation for engineering products that are fine-tuned to real-world agricultural needs, and the Hillco Harrow Cart is no exception. Our cart is specifically designed to evenly distribute residue and break up compacted soil, allowing seeds to establish better. Its engineering reduces soil clumping, improving aeration and enabling faster water absorption, which is crucial for farmers aiming for healthy, high-yield crops.
2. Durability for Demanding Conditions
Hillco prioritizes durability by using high-quality materials that can handle rugged terrain and adverse conditions. The Hillco Harrow Cart features reinforced components designed to withstand constant use. To list a few examples, the wings are manufactured from heavy, durable tubing with 8”x8”x14” walls. Additionally, it has robust wing pivot pins with replaceable bushings, specifically for extended wear. Moreover, high carbon, replaceable harrow spikes reduce bending and breaking. Farmers like Riggers- Clearwater Farms, have noted this cart’s resilience in their fields, making it a long-term investment that continues to deliver.
“It’s robust in every area it needs to be like the wheels, tires, and all of the metal.
“The first HC1010 we bought in 2019 actually had 3 years of high use ahead of when we bought it, and we’ve used it since and it’s still working great. That cart might last 50 years for us, so we’ll just keep pulling it.”
-Nathan & Christopher Riggers
3. Easy Maneuverability & Transport
Hillco Technologies understands that time and ease of movement matter. Their harrow cart is built with a flexible, user-friendly hitch system, allowing for quick connections and easy transitions between fields. This convenience feature helps reduce set-up time and increases productivity. The thoughtful design also simplifies transport, as the cart can be easily adjusted for smoother transit on roads.
Key takeaways:
• In-board dual wing wheels prevent wheel and tire damage
and increases flotation.
• Operator can quickly wing the cart to “in” and “out”
positions from the seat of the cab.
4. Low Maintenance for Maximum Productivity
Maintenance is always a consideration with agricultural equipment, and Hillco has designed this cart to require minimal upkeep. Using high carbon steel, the Hillco Harrow Cart is built to withstand the elements, reducing the time and cost associated with maintenance. Fewer breakdowns mean more uptime, which is a crucial factor during peak planting or harvesting seasons.
Key takeaways:
-
- Built with robust wing pivot pins with replaceable bushings for extended wear.
- Heavy wing tubing increases durability.
- High carbon replaceable harrow spikes reduce bending and breaking
5. Customer Support + Customization= More Acres. Less Time.
Hillco Technologies offers top-notch customer support and customization options that distinguish it from other brands. If you are a farmer with unique needs, Hillco provides options to tailor this harrow to your specific operation. Our harrows are built with the ability to add or remove a 6ft attachment that bolts on to either side. In practice, this is useful for diverse operations. At purchase, you can tow away a 72ft harrow, believing it is the best fit for your operation, only to realize you need an 84-footer the following year. With Hillco’s design, you can simply bolt on a set of six-foot attachments and have an 84ft harrow at your service. This flexibility makes Hillco’s Harrow Cart an appealing choice for a wider range of agricultural operations, and ultimately saves you time.
The Hillco Harrow Cart is available in 48, 60, 72’ or 84’ widths.
Summary
The Hillco Technologies Harrow Cart stands out for its innovative design, durability, ease of use, low maintenance requirements, and Hillco’s commitment to excellent customer support. These advantages have made it popular among farmers who need reliable, high-performance equipment to streamline their operations.
