Subject: Quad/Double fold harrows, any remedies to keep from tangling?


Curious to see if anyone on here has tricks/remedies to help with tangled harrows on double/quad (i use both terminologies) fold 5 bar spikes harrows.

Our 50.5 Cultivator has the nice long section harrows on the main frame, but the 2 sets of wings have 2 smaller sections that are a little lighter and tangle a bit easier, especially the 4/5 wings that fold flat first before the 2/3 sections fold on our DMI/CNH cultivator.

Im surprised that its not a one piece harrow section with 4 support arms, and doesnt look like i could do that unless i welded them together which i'd regret when id find a way to bend a piece haha. Gets frustrating when we're on smaller fields and folding/unfolding several times always fighting to get the 5bar untangled, doesn't take long but it adds up to quite a bit of time over several fields a day.
