Harrogator Information Needed

D17Four · Mar 17, 2012

How high off the ground will a Dunham Lehr harrogator lift? I am considering buying one to help flatten a field torn up by removing a lot of trees and brush, with a lot crap left behind. My plan is to pull the implement until it loads up, lift it to "dump" the load then move on. I will come back later to "sift" the pile with a Bobcat/rootrake, then repeat the process several times. I don"t think my plan will even begin to work unless I can get that harrogator at least a foot, and preferably 18" off the ground. Any thoughts or adjustment information on this implement is most appreciated. Thanks.

A Dunham-Lier harrow will not lift very high. The Unverferth ones lifted higher. They had a linkage that made them lift more parallel to the ground. The DL ones just pivoted the rear axle. What I have done is pull them with a cross draw bar on the three point. You have to watch turning but you can lift the rear with the hydraulic cylinder and then raise the front up much higher with the three point. They would help smooth and rake roots and such. They will not work the ground very deep. If you are not going to work the ground deeper later then the harrow should work fine.

Here is a picture showing the hitch on an Unverferth harrogator.

Just an idea, my 8 foot landscape rake does exactly what you are trying to do, and on a 3 point it lifts plenty high. If you have a lot of trash on the ground, you will be amazed how fast it fills up. Smaller stuff you will have to jump off the tractor and un-wedge it out of the teeth. But it works good.
