Last year I discovered how useful a 3/way chain harrow was for food plots for leveling and also lightly covering seeds. I kinda stumbled on the fact that it was just as useful mounted on the front with the forks as on back plus I could raise and turn just like with my 3 point disc. Fast forward to this year and our 6.5" rain last week it was time to put some seed in so I welded a receiver hitch to my disc to save another task. A little improvising for planting food plots with a receiver hitch on the disc and a chain harrow mounted to the forks.
Albeit it isn't for large multi-acre food plots it works pretty quick for senderos and 1-2 plots and I noticed the soil was worked far less and keeping as much moisture in the ground with 3 passes over the soil. First pass disc to break it up, second pass chain harrow with the rough side to level and scatter seed (behind the leveled plot) and finally a third pass with chain harrow smooth side to lightly cover seed. Lastly a big prayer to the Lord for more blessed rain!
