The wing-up frame design is exclusive to the Phillips Harrow. This sturdy, convenient design allows you to go from working position to transport position in seconds, without leaving the tractor seat. The only reason to leave the tractor is to engage the transport safety locks.

We know that this is the best angle at which to operate a rotary harrow. It provides the most aggessive action for the best possible results.

Our V-design frame holds much better on hillsides than other A-frame type machines. If our V frame slips downhill slightly, the bottom side of the V digs harder and holds the harrow up the hill. With the arrow or upside down V design, if the harrow slips slightly down the hill, the upper part of the harrow digs in harder and push the harrow farther down the hill and render it useless.

Folds up Easily
We can't say enough about how convenient it is to put the Phillips Rotary Harrow into transport or to lay it down for field use. It's all done from the tractor seat.

Once you see the Phillips Rotary Harrow you'll be suitably impressed with the stout frame. It looks overbuilt compared to other machines but it needs to be strong. Operators pull the Phillips Rotary Harrow at speeds upward of 10 mph or even more. Traveling at 8 to 9 mph is not uncommon. It can handle it. And, it can handle the extra weight of applicators used for broadcasting granular products

   The heart of the Phillips Rotary Harrow is the interlocking tine assembly. Some implements can produce a "wash board" effect causing planter bounce. The tooling design leaves your field with a smooth finish. Our superior staggered design hits the ground in a pattern of dotted grooves 3.25" apart. This pattern disturbs a high percentage of the ground leaving the soil surface smooth.
   Because we only work in the top inch or so this is truly a minimum tillage tool. The heavy cable that runs through the center of the tooling is for ballast only, offering a bit more penetration. But, don't expect it to work deep. It won't. The tooling really doesn't plug up because of its self-cleaning nature. Corn stalks fall off the tooling as you pick up speed in an open field.
   Our tines are made strong. They're made from high carbon, hot forged and heat-treated steel. Tines seldom break and they last a long time. They break so seldom that we can almost say, "they never break". We have units with 100,000 acres plus on them and the tines are only worn down about 1". Because they are so strong, stony land is not a problem. If you ever need to replace a tine it's a fairly simple job
